Mantel clock - "Lioness and Lion Cubs" by Antonin Artrolle - 1900-1910

“Lioness and Lion Cubs” Mantel Clock: This glazed plaster statue doubles as a mantel clock, featuring a lioness with her cubs. Created between 1900-1910, it measures 34 x 32 cm and reflects Artrolle’s skill in integrating functionality with artistic expression.


Antonin Artrolle (1888–1962) was a French sculptor renowned for his animalier-style works, a genre that emphasizes realistic depictions of animals. Active during the early to mid-20th century, Artrolle crafted sculptures that often portrayed animals in dynamic and naturalistic poses, reflecting the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of his time.

The statue's alarm clock works well.
