French Gilt Bronze & Marble Mantel Clock by Japy Freres

19th century
Description

A superb quality French mid 19th century bronze gilt mantel clock with beautifully cast Greek mythological male figure of Paris, The Shepherd, accompanied by a female goddess.

The clock has a white marble body and plinth, and it is adorned with floral garland, laurel leaf and egg and dart moulding. The clock has a beaded bezel and a white enamel dial with Roman numerals.

The movement is an eight day duration, which strikes the hours and half hours on a bell with outside count wheel.

The clock movement backplate is stamped with the makers name - Japy Freres

The clock movement has been cleaned and serviced and comes with a 12 month guarantee.

Height - 42 cm (16 ½ inches)

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.

A French Ormolu mantel clock is a decorative timepiece originating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, characterised by cast bronze mounts coated in gold alloy (ormolu), often integrated with marble bases and mechanical movements.

These timepieces typically combine fire-gilded bronze (ormolu), carved white or coloured marble, enamel dial plates, and hand-finished brass mechanical clockworks.

Authentic examples usually feature stamped trade marks on the rear plate of the movement, such as the Japy Freres medaille dhonneur stamp, alongside high-precision casting on the decorative bronze elements.

Position the clock as a focal decorative element on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or console table, pairing it with clean-lined modern artwork or simple foliage to create balanced visual contrast.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive polishes that risk stripping the gilded layer or marking natural marble.
