This truly stunning French mantel clock was crafted during the Empire period, and reflects the Neoclassical interests of the Emperor Napoleon I, whose influence over the decorative arts contributed toward a profound revival of beauties of the ancient empires. The mantel clock is crafted entirely in gilt bronze, and features a stepped base on four block feet. The dial is banded with brass enamel with black Roman numerals. The theme of music is interwoven through this beautiful clock, and it would make a wonderful addition to any well-appointed interior.
