A French rouge marble mantel clock dating from the latter half of the 19th century, circa 1870.
The architectural case is constructed in richly figured rouge marble, with a stepped base and pedimented top, flanked by a pair of classical fluted columns with decorative Corinthian-style capitals.
The upper section incorporates a finely cast bronze relief panel depicting a classical scene with figures and a horse-drawn chariot, providing an attractive decorative detail to the otherwise restrained architectural design.
The circular gilt dial is set behind a glazed brass bezel and features individual Roman numeral hour cartouches, with twin winding apertures. The eight-day movement strikes the hours on a coiled gong and is accessed through a glazed hinged door to the rear.
A particularly decorative example, combining strongly figured rouge marble with classical architectural and bronze detailing.
French, circa 1870.
