An Impressive and Beautiful Bronze and marble Mantel Clock.
The bronze sculpture with the subject of Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino in Florence.
After the original by Michelangelo in the Chapel of San Lorenzo in Florence Italy.
The bronze sculpture still with the original dark chocolate brown original patination, the bronze is beautifully scrolling around the marble base finished with a bronze plinth.
Still with the original beautiful enamel coloured dial and with silvered complicated hands.
The movement is stamped for Gustav Becker in Freiburg, also with the stamp for Medaille D’or which Gustav Becker got in 1854.
Interesting is to see that Gustav Becker made this movement in the style of the French clocks of that period.
The fully cleaned original movement is striking on a bell every 30 minutes, interesting is to see that the movement still has the original early platform escapement.
All over in original condition with beautiful original patination, there are no missing pieces or repairs.
Continental circa 1870.
54cm high 21.5cm wide 21.5cm deep.
