Description

An Impressive and Beautiful Bronze and marble Mantel Clock.

The bronze sculpture with the subject of Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino in Florence.

After the original by Michelangelo in the Chapel of San Lorenzo in Florence Italy.

The bronze sculpture still with the original dark chocolate brown original patination, the bronze is beautifully scrolling around the marble base finished with a bronze plinth.

Still with the original beautiful enamel coloured dial and with silvered complicated hands.

The movement is stamped for Gustav Becker in Freiburg, also with the stamp for Medaille D’or which Gustav Becker got in 1854.

Interesting is to see that Gustav Becker made this movement in the style of the French clocks of that period.

The fully cleaned original movement is striking on a bell every 30 minutes, interesting is to see that the movement still has the original early platform escapement.

All over in original condition with beautiful original patination, there are no missing pieces or repairs.

Continental circa 1870.

54cm high 21.5cm wide 21.5cm deep.

Renaissance Revival mantel clocks, prominent in the 19th century, feature classical architectural forms, sculptural figures inspired by Renaissance masters, and rich materials such as patinated bronze and veined marble.

These timepieces typically combine cast bronze or ormolu figures, marble bases such as Rouge Griotte or Nero Marquina, enamelled dials, and hand-cut brass horological movements.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished bronze casting with natural oxidisation, heavy marble bases with historical wear, French maker marks on the clock movement, and hand-painted enamel chapter rings.

Position the clock as a focal point on a clean-lined fireplace mantelpiece or a dark wood sideboard, pairing it with minimalist architectural accents to contrast its classical detailing.

Dust the bronze gently with a dry microfibre cloth without harsh chemicals to preserve the original patina, clean marble surfaces with a damp cloth, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
