AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
French neoclassical luxury watch, 19th century.
Signed "A. Lemoine – A PARIS"
Impressive mantel clock made of black marble with applications in mercury-gilt bronze, representing the palatial aesthetic of French neoclassicism. Its structure evokes a Greco-Roman temple: topped by a triangular pediment with mythological reliefs of exquisite execution, flanked by fluted columns with Corinthian capitals that frame the central dial.
The dial, white enamel, features Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic for the minutes, surrounded by a finely chiseled gold bezel. The movement, original to its era, runs with the patina of years and may require adjustments typical of its age.
The base, adorned with garlands, scrollwork and vegetal motifs in gilded bronze, reinforces its aristocratic character. A collectible piece ideal for classical interiors, libraries, noble salons, or spaces that value history, art, and distinction.
A masterpiece of decorative watchmaking, worthy of a palace.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
