FRENCH LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU BRONZE AND MARBLE MANTEL CLOCK, LATE 18TH CENTURY

$12,500.00

This late 18th-century Louis XVI mantel clock, crafted by Thiery of Paris, epitomizes the opulence and sophistication of the era. The clock's imposing presence is accentuated by the marriage of ormolu-mounted black and white marble.

At its heart lies a drum case housing a pristine white enamel dial, elegantly signed Thiery A Paris, adorned with Arabic numerals. This captivating centerpiece is crowned with delicate flower swags and a floral finial, accompanied by flanking gilt bronze mounted cameo-style glass plaques. The clock's stately stature is further enhanced by shaped columns adorned with intricate flowering trails, all resting gracefully on Empire feet.

The clock's movement, suspended by silk, boasts a mesmerizing sunburst pendulum, while its precision is underscored by an outside count wheel, striking melodiously on a bell.

This timepiece encapsulates the epitome of Louis XVI design, merging exquisite craftsmanship with ornate detailing, promising not just to keep time but to serve as a cherished objet d'art, a testament to the elegance and refinement of its era.
