Description

A French mid 19th century Louis XVI style mantel clock of superb quality, flanked by a gilt bronze female figure and cherub holding a dove with bird cage to the top. The white carrara marble base has gilt bronze beaded mouldings and inset pierced floral mounts, and it stands on toupie feet.

The clock has a white enamel dial which is delicately hand painted with floral swags and Arabic numerals. The movement is an eight day duration, which strikes the hours and half hours on a bell with outside count wheel.​​

FAQs

Louis XVI style mantel clocks originated in late 18th-century France and are characterised by Neoclassical design principles, featuring straight lines, classical symmetry, and motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity. They frequently incorporate gilded bronze sculpture alongside white or black marble elements.

Traditional French clocks of this era utilised mercury-gilded bronze, also known as ormolu, combined with imported marbles such as Carrara or Belgian black marble. Dial plates were typically crafted from copper coated with fired enamel and fitted with hand-finished brass clockwork movements.

Authentic period pieces display hand-chased metalwork with sharp detail, mercury fire-gilding showing subtle wear, and hand-painted enamel dials with delicate Roman or Arabic numerals. Movement features like silk-suspension pendulums and count-wheel strike systems further indicate 18th or early 19th-century origin.

A gilt bronze mantel clock serves as a focal point when placed atop a stone fireplace surround, marble console table, or minimalist sideboard. Pair it with clean-lined contemporary artwork or modern ceramics to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary decor.

Gilt bronze surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive chemicals or brass polishes that strip gilding. Marble elements require specialized pH-neutral stone cleaners, and the mechanical movement should be serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
