AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant French mantel clock dating from the second half of the 19th century, probably between 1870 and 1890, made in regule with a gilded patina.
The clock features a beautiful hunting-themed composition, with a hunter in period dress, standing in a rich vegetal and architectural setting.
The overall piece is especially decorative, with a structure evocative of a trellis/arbor, surrounded by foliage and numerous relief ornaments.
It rests on an imposing Rococo-style base, richly worked with scrolls, flowers, foliage and openwork motifs.
The antique gilded patina presents different tones and natural wear that highlight the reliefs.
The white enamel dial has black Roman numerals for the hours and an outer minute track.
An old inscription, probably that of a clockmaker or a retailer, remains partially visible on the dial.
The clock has a manual-wind mechanical movement with a single train, intended only to indicate the time and without a striking mechanism.
The clock is functional and is accompanied by its winding key and its pendulum.
Overall condition in keeping with its age, with patina, signs of use and gilding wear; see the photos which are part of the description.
