French Gilt Bronze early 19th Century Mantle Clock, circa 1830 – Silk Suspension

A gilt bronze and patina bronze clock with winged figure standing over rocky hill with broken sandal. Much reminiscent of the famous Hermes fixing his sandal sculpture.

Bronze throughout including the face of the clock.

Mixture of gilt bronze and patinated bronze. French movement with pendulum hung by silk thread. Chime rings on the half hour and the hour.

No visible makers mark – although there is a star mark on movement.

Dates early 19th century, France.
