19th century
Description

An excellent quality Louis XVI style French gilt bronze mantel clock with inset porcelain panels, hand painted with floral design finished with a blue border. The case has a decorative urn to the top, with pineapple finials and acanthus leaf moulding, flanked with entwined ribbon which terminates to floral leaf display.

The white enamel dial has Roman numerals with the makers name Henry Marc and the movement is an eight day duration, which strikes the hours and half hours on a bell with outside count wheel.​ The backplate is also stamped with the makers name.

This French Louis XVI style mantel clock, dating from 1860, is made from gilt bronze and porcelain with a gold finish and blue borders. The piece has a decorative urn finial to the top, pineapple finials, fluted side columns, acanthus leaf moulding, and hand-painted floral porcelain panels. It includes a white enamel dial with Roman numerals, a stag figure with an oak leaf and acorn garland, and sits on shaped feet. Measuring 34 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 12.5 cm deep, the clock is designed to sit on a mantelpiece in a living room, study, or drawing room in a home today. The clock houses an eight day movement that strikes the hours and half hours on a bell, operated through an outside count wheel, and is stamped with the maker Henry Marc on both the dial and backplate. The gilt bronze case incorporates entwined ribbon motifs and floral leaf displays surrounding the central dial. Placed upon a shelf, sideboard, or mantel, the clock functions as a decorative timepiece while bringing period French design into an interior setting.

FAQs

Louis XVI style mantel clocks are characterised by neoclassical symmetry, classical motifs such as urns, garlands, and fluted columns, combined with decorative gilt bronze and porcelain elements.

These timepieces commonly feature cast gilt bronze (ormolu), hand-painted porcelain panels, enamel dials, and brass mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces display precise mercury gilding with crisp chasing, clockmaker marks or stamps on the back plate, and period-correct mechanical movement assemblies.

Place the timepiece centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble sideboard, or console table flanked by subtle contemporary accessories to highlight its detailed metalwork.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or chemical cleaners that can strip gilding or damage painted porcelain surfaces.
