Description from the seller
An impressive sculptural mantel clock featuring a dynamic panther figure, signed Cartier, a name associated with the French animalier sculptor Thomas-François Cartier (1879–1943).
The composition combines a dark patinated metal sculpture with a substantial natural stone base. The elongated figure of the panther, expressive modelling and contrasting materials create the characteristic decorative presence of the Art Deco period.
The clock is integrated into the base beneath the sculpture, with a brass-toned bezel and glass cover. The clock mechanism is working.
