About the Item

Elevate your interior with this exceptional antique French figural mantel clock, beautifully crafted in the 19th century in a refined Neoclassical / Empire style. Featuring a striking gilt-bronze sculpture atop a solid marble plinth, this timepiece combines elegant artistry with historic charm — a true highlight for collectors and lovers of decorative antiques. The clock is mounted on a finely shaped marble base and enriched with superb ormolu (gilt-bronze) detailing, characteristic of high-end French mantel clocks produced during this period. Its Roman numeral dial, classic proportions and sculptural figure reflect the artistic and decorative trends of the 19th century, when such clocks were both functional timekeepers and status-symbol centrepieces. This piece not only tells the time with its mechanical movement but also serves as a striking piece of decorative art — ideal for mantels, console tables or distinguished interior spaces. A wonderful example of skilled craftsmanship from an era when French clockmakers and bronziers set the standard for luxury and style.
