Superb and Rare Gothic French Empire Mantle Clock, attributed to L. Ravrio*. Circa 1820s. In a very rare and unusual acanthus leaf designed bronze case, with classical and gothic influences.
This clock was made in the workshops of the Maitre Bronzier Ravrio (Master bronze maker Ravrio), whose quality of sculpture ornamation, and chiselling of the bronze is superb. The simple clock movement (stamped 276) and correct for the period. Extremely rare sculptured bronze-work of highest quality with superb decorative features.

Recently fully serviced by a good horologist and in excellent working order (pendulum removed for transport). Bronzework and ormolu in excellent condition.
*L. Ravrio - considered to be the successor of the workshop of the very famous Master Bronzemaker André Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814). In the Charles X (Restoration) style, a period which began just after the death of André... Antoine, who was considered a great supplier during the First Empire Period.
* A similar clock with identical bronzework sculpture (but with sienna marble surround), is signed L. Lavrio Bronzier on the clock-face (see photo), hence the authentic and reliable attribution for this particular clock. Originally aquired to accompany cassolettes of similar period and design (separate sale).
