19th century

Description

c. 1880 Superb French Ormolu Gilt Bronze 8-Day Mantel Clock with 2 Doves

Brief Description:

This is a superb quality and very original 19th-century French Ormolu Gilt Bronze Mantel Clock.

The heavy and very elegant piece has an 8-day movement that chimes on a bell ring, every half hour.

The wonderful, solid gilt bronze ormolu case has a pair of Dove finials, rising above foliate scrolls and a circular hand-painted enamelled clock face.

Comes complete with the pendulum and a working key.

The piece currently works well; however, as always, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy or function of an antique clock movement, so a service is always strongly recommended.

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

A 19th-century French ormolu mantel clock is a decorative timepiece crafted from gilded bronze, often executed in Neoclassical or Louis XVI revival styles featuring sculptural allegorical or naturalistic motifs.

These clocks traditionally feature heavy cast bronze components finished with fire-gilding or electroplating, paired with enamel dials, glass bezels, and brass eight-day mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit fine casting detail, hand-chased ornamentation, substantial weight, age-appropriate wear to the gilded layer, and original stamped mechanical movements from French makers.

Place the clock as a focal decorative object on a fireplace mantel, sideboard top, or desk, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary decor or traditional artwork to create visual contrast.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft brush, avoiding liquid polishes or chemical cleansers that erode the gilded layer, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
