Mantel Clock, France, Late 19th Century

Elegant French mantel clock from the late 19th century, crafted in gilt bronze with porcelain decorative elements. The case features finely detailed relief ornamentation with floral motifs characteristic of the late Neoclassical style. The enamel dial bears Roman numerals and delicate silvered steel hands.

The clock is spring-driven and fully operational, recently serviced by a professional horologist. It keeps accurate time and strikes the hours with a soft, pleasant tone. The back plate retains the manufacturer’s hallmark and serial number, confirming the authenticity of the piece. The bronze surface shows a light natural patina and minor traces of age, which add to its charm and historical character. The enamel dial remains intact, without visible cracks or chips.
