This is an antique French gilt bronze mantel clock from the 19th century. These clocks are also known as pendules de cheminée. The clocks were a result of collaboration between skilled artisans, including bronze workers, enamel painters, and horologists. The figure on top, ' The Noble Gardner' of the clock, is a common decorative element of that time. The clock features a mechanical movement and chimes on a bell. The clock has been checked and serviced by our clockmaster. Photos are part of the description. Will be sent with safe packaging.
