Description from the seller

Antique French figural mantel clock titled “Les Tourterelles”, after Louis & François Moreau, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1890–1910).

A highly decorative example featuring a reclining female figure in classical dress, cast in patinated spelter with a bronze-effect finish, mounted on a black marble base. The clock retains its original dial and movement.

Condition is good overall with age-related wear. One foot has detached and will require a simple repair). Otherwise, the piece displays very well.

Movement present but untested and may require servicing.

This is a beautiful decorative piece and a perfect opportunity for light restoration to bring it back to full working order
