Clock - Collection d'Art - Antique inspired Bronze - 1960-1970

Figurative solid gilt bronze mantel clock - “Collection d'Art” - With original tag

.A family treasure with history and grandeur. I am offering for sale a fascinating and elegant figurative mantel clock in finely chased and gilded solid bronze, a superb work by the renowned Italian manufacturer “Collection d’Art” (Bologna), internationally famous for its high-quality artistic reproductions created for fine interior decoration.

The design, inspired by the refined historicism of the 19th century (Napoleon III / Charles X style), is built around a circular central case decorated with a dense raised garland of laurel leaves and topped with an elegant finial. On either side, two full-length male figures in period dress support the structure, which rests on a sumptuous rectangular plinth richly chased with floral motifs, tendrils, and gadrooned edging.
Dimensions: 20 x 18 x 10 cm. Dial: White enamel with black Roman numerals, in perfect condition, with no hairline cracks, chips, or defects. Movement: High-precision 11-jewel mechanism (stamped Eleven 11 Jewels / Unadjusted), featuring an international industrial patent (8.A.250 Breveté France et Étranger) and a locking system (Désarmage).

The piece still retains its original period sales tag attached (“Collection d'Art - The world-famous house”), an exceptionally rare detail that certifies its provenance and significantly increases its collector's value.
Condition and technical notes. The clock is in excellent aesthetic and structural condition, and the gilding retains a beautiful period sheen, although it could be cleaned and polished further. When checked, the mechanism responded to winding from the rear and started; however, in the interest of the utmost professional integrity, and given that this is a sophisticated period device, a technical service is recommended to ensure it works perfectly over time. Furthermore, in the interest of transparency, all technical information (errors and omissions excepted) was obtained from a watchmaker, as I am not personally an expert in this field.

A good-quality shipping and packaging service is guaranteed for this lot.
The clock will be individually packed using suitable protective materials (bubble wrap and other materials) to eliminate any risk of impact or vibration during transit. The original tag will be protected separately to prevent tearing. Shipping will be entrusted exclusively to leading international express couriers (UPS, DHL, or FedEx). A tracking number will be provided in real time as soon as the parcel has been dispatched. It will also be shipped with insurance for the full amount.
