General

Early French Bronze and Marble Mantel Clock
France, Empire period, circa 1815.

An elegant early 19th-century French mantel clock surmounted by a finely cast patinated bronze figure of Mercury. The clock features an enamel dial with Roman numerals and retains its rare pin-wheel escapement with silk suspension, characteristic of high-quality early French Empire movements.

The sculpture and dial are mounted on a warm-toned yellow marble base enriched with finely chased gilt-bronze mounts and scrolling feet. A refined and highly decorative Empire-period timepiece, notable for both its sculptural quality and its superior movement.

Chimes on the hour and the half-hour.

Measures: 26 inches high x 19 inches long x 8.5 inches deep.
