Figural mantel clock - Bronze, Brass - 1800-1850 - Empire

Elegant Empire-era bronze clock gilded, France, early 19th century (circa 1810–1830), depicting a female mythological figure holding a lyre, accompanied by a lion. The base is adorned with a bas-relief of an antique scene in the neoclassical style. Circular dial with Roman numerals in a richly decorated surround. The piece rests on an antique veneered wooden base and is presented under a glass dome.

Key-wound mechanical movement. The movement is complete but currently not functioning and requires servicing. The bell strike is functional (hours and half-hours). Mechanism sold as is, not restored.

Beautiful original gilding with natural wear consistent with age. Glass dome in good condition. The base shows normal signs of time.

The indicated weight refers to the clock alone, without the glass dome.
