The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Characterised by Neoclassical symmetry and classical motifs, Louis XVI style mantel clocks feature balanced compositions, often incorporating classical figures, cherubs, and architectural columns. Popularised during the late 18th century and reproduced throughout the 19th century, these timepieces combine mechanical horology with fine sculptural art.

These clocks predominantly feature gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, combined with white marble or alabaster plinths. The clock dials are typically made of white enamel with hand-painted numerals and intricate gilt-brass or steel hands, housed within precision mechanical movements.

Authentic examples usually feature heavy, finely cast gilt bronze with crisp hand-chased details, a solid marble or alabaster base, and a French countwheel or rack-striking movement often stamped by renowned makers or foundry marks on the backplate.

Position the clock as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or grand sideboard to contrast neoclassical elegance against contemporary minimalist decor. Pair with understated modern artwork or symmetrical candleholders to balance the visual weight.

Clean the gilt bronze surfaces gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, polishes, or moisture that can damage the delicate gilding. Dust the marble base regularly and consult a professional horologist for periodic servicing of the mechanical clockwork.
