Condition / Servicing Note:

Please note that antique clocks are complex and sensitive mechanical objects. While some clocks may be running at the time of listing we cannot guarantee ongoing performance without a full inspection and testing period by our specialist horologist. Where inspection, testing, or servicing is required this process can take between 2–12 weeks depending on the clock, the work needed, and current workload. This careful approach helps ensure the clock is properly assessed rather than rushed.

Clock Warranty

All clocks purchased from London City Antiques are supplied with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

This warranty covers mechanical faults and failures arising from normal use. It does not extend to damage resulting from improper handling, unauthorised tampering, accidental or physical damage, environmental factors (including humidity, temperature fluctuations, or exposure to direct sunlight), or misuse.

Should a clock develop a genuine fault within the warranty period that meets the above conditions, we will, at our discretion and at no cost to you, arrange for the repair or replacement of any defective parts. All remedial work will be carried out by a fully qualified and experienced horologist.

In the unlikely event that a fault cannot be satisfactorily resolved, a full refund will be offered.

  • SizeH 28 cm (11 in) x W 21.5 cm (8 in) x D 14 cm (6 in)

This Victorian French mantle clock dates from 1860 and combines an ornate ormolu case with a bronze cherub figure seated on top. The design includes scrollwork, bow motifs, and leaf decoration alongside a circular hand-painted porcelain dial fitted with original hands and two winding holes. The ormolu case displays a golden tone contrasting with the dark bronze finish of the cherub figurine, supported by turned bun feet beneath a moulded plinth base. It measures 28 cm high, 21.5 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this decorative timepiece functions as a mantel ornament on a living room fireplace, a side table in a hallway, or a desk in a study. Its traditional appearance suits period-style reception rooms and formal living spaces, adding a classical horological accent to existing decor while requiring placement on a stable, flat horizontal surface.
