This 19th-century French Louis XVI style mantel clock takes a lyre shape, fashioned from pink veined marble combined with gilt-bronze ormolu mounts, a white enamel dial, and glass crystals in the bezel ring. The visual scheme centers on pink and gold, decorated with a sunburst Apollo mask finial, floral ormolu garlands draped across the frame and the stepped base, scrolled acanthus mouldings, and round feet. Black Arabic and Roman numerals mark the white clock face, which sits inside a ring of sparkling rhinestones. Measuring 48 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, the timepiece serves as a decorative focal point for display on a mantelpiece or shelf in a living room, study, or hallway interior.

FAQs

A lyre clock features a case shaped like a classical lyre instrument, a motif popularised in late 18th-century France that continued through the 19th century. The clock movement is housed within or suspended from the lyre frame, often paired with Neoclassical decorative elements.

These clocks are primarily crafted using carved marble, particularly pink or white varieties, combined with ormolu (gilded bronze) mounts, enamel dials, and sometimes cut glass or paste gems encircling the bezel.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast-bronze mounts with hand-chased detailing, fire-gilding showing slight wear in high-touch areas, hand-painted enamel dials, and period movement mechanisms often stamped with French maker marks.

Place the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, console, or sideboard, balanced with minimal modern art or understated glassware to allow the elaborate gilded metalwork and marble texture to stand out.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or water on gilded bronze to prevent stripping the gold finish, and use specialized marble cleaners sparingly to avoid etching the stone surface.
