Description
An elegant example of the Art Nouveau movement, this mantel clock features a graceful maiden figure cast in bronze, surrounded by flowing organic lines and clover motifs characteristic of the late 19th or early 20th century. The piece retains traces of its original gilding, providing a rich contrast to the honest, aged bronze finish. While the sculptural case is remarkably complete, the timepiece is functionally a project piece; as the current dial is a non-original paper replacement measuring 2 5/8 inches in diameter. The internal movement is likely present, but the adjustment knobs are missing and it requires a full professional service to operate. Aside from the mechanical needs and the missing face, the bronze shows expected surface wear and fading to the gilt commensurate with age, but it presents beautifully as a decorative object. H 12.75″, W 8″, D 6″. Please see photos for condition.
