Originating in late eighteenth-century France, Louis XVI and Neoclassical clocks feature classical architectural forms, symmetry, white marble or alabaster cases, and fine gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts inspired by Greco-Roman motifs.

These timepieces are constructed primarily using carved white marble or alabaster, chased gilt bronze or brass ormolu mounts, and hand-painted enamel dials over brass clockwork movements.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy, hand-chased gilt bronze mounts, individual winding arbours on the enamel dial, hand-engraved movement plates, and natural variations or veining in the marble casing.

Place the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard top, flanked by balanced decorative accessories such as tall candleholders or modern glass vases.

Dust the marble and gilded metal regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or chemical polish which can damage gilding, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist.
