AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
French gilded-regule mantel clock "Woman with the Ewer", late 19th century.
Elegant French mantel clock dating from the end of the 19th century, made in finely gilded régule and resting on a rose-veined marble base. The ensemble presents a decorative composition typical of the Neoclassical taste highly appreciated during the Napoléon III period and the Belle Époque.
The scene depicts a young woman dressed in antique drapery, seated beside the dial and holding a decorative ewer. A bird completes the scene on the upper part of the clock, providing a very decorative and balanced overall look.
The base is in veined rose marble and rests on four feet turned in gilded régule. The front is embellished with a cartouche bearing the inscription "L'Automne".
The circular enamel dial is white and decorated with a painted floral garland. It features stylized Arabic numerals as well as two winding openings.
The clock is equipped with a French mechanical movement, known as the Paris movement, with hour and half-hour striking on a bell. The movement bears a serial number.
The clock is complete with its pendulum and a winding key; it is functioning.
Good overall condition for its age, with light signs of wear and oxidation consistent with age, mechanism functional, see photos as they are part of the description.
