N Wilson Antiques Clocks has dated this French Rosewood Mantel Clock to the 19th Century.
This fabulous antique mantel clock has a rosewood case with a round top leading into a shaped body.
The front of the case then features a stunning array of intricate brass and bovine inlay which set the piece off beautifully and gives it a lovely, unique look. The inlay is comprised of an array of fantastic designs such as flowers, doves, scrollwork, and a beautifully detailed cherub to the centre.
The dial is then silvered and set out in Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking out the minutes. The dial then has a patterned brass surround as well as a bevelled, protective glass set into a brass bezel. Finally the centre of the dial has a fantastic engine turned design and is finished by two lovely shaped hands.
The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It comes complete with its pendulum and key and ticks away as it should as well as chiming once on the half past and the number of hours on the hour via a bell. The movement is a silk suspension example and also is stamped by the maker “DUMONT A PARIS”.
