This is an original 19th-century French gilt bronze figural mantel clock, elegantly presented under a protective glass dome. Executed in finely cast and gilded bronze (ormolu), the clock features a richly detailed sculptural composition depicting a classical pastoral figure standing beside a rocky outcrop, holding a staff and framed by lush foliage and floral elements.
The white enamel dial displays Roman numerals with original pierced hands, set within a beaded gilt bezel. The clock rests on an elaborate Rococo-style base with scrolling feet, floral cartouches, and deeply modeled ornamentation, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship associated with French decorative arts of the 19th century.
Housed beneath a clear glass cloche mounted on a shaped wooden base, the clock is both visually striking and well preserved. The glass dome enhances the sculptural presence while protecting the gilt bronze surfaces, making this piece ideal for display on a mantel or a console table.
This antique French clock functions as both a timepiece and a sculptural work, instantly elevating any interior.

from 15 reviewsChristian was super helpful when my package got stuck with the shippers / customs. Superb packaging. Lovely Murano glass piece. Highly recommend this seller.
The overall above-and-beyond customer service that I have received is something that I have never experienced before. Unfortunately for me, the bow that I purchased arrived completely broken - purely the fault of ignorant shipping agents somewhere in its transit. Andreas exhibited unparalleled professionalism, responsiveness, promptness, kindness and compassion in resolving this with me. Rare to be sure these days! I hope to do business with him again in the future!
I recently purchased a violin bow from here. The bow is just as described, high-quality and all prepared for play. The silver winding and frog look great.
Communication was good and they shipped quickly. The bow was safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, while the bow performs exceptionally well, I found it slightly heavier than expected.
Wow! Product exceeded my expectations! Exceptional quality and a true gem for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship and heritage. Highly recommended!
Wasn’t totally sure what to expect since there weren’t many reviews, but this bow completely surprised me. It got this for my daughter who needed a good follow-on bow as shes getting much better at playing... Honestly, took a bit of a gamble, but I’m really happy I did. ..Definitely a great find!
Looks better than expected!! Arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged with bubble wrap. The sculpture looks sleek and polished, and has the artist's signature on the back so a genuine piece. It works great for my Airbnb. These guys are great.
