An exceptional and highly decorative floor-standing clock crafted in the style of 19th century French grand clocks, featuring a striking combination of deep blue lapis lazuli veneer and finely cast dore bronze mounts. The case is richly ornamented throughout, showcasing intricate gilt detailing that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant, speckled lapis surfaces.
The clock face is framed within an elaborate gilt bronze surround, topped by sculptural cherub figures in dynamic poses. The dial features Roman numerals with ornate hands set against a decorative ground, enhancing its classical presentation. Below, a glazed panel reveals a pendulum, adding both visual movement and traditional mechanical charm.
The case is formed in a tapering architectural shape, adorned with applied gilt bronze mounts including medallions, floral garlands, and classical motifs. The craftsmanship is evident in the precision of the detailing, from the finely cast ornamentation to the carefully fitted lapis panels. The base is equally elaborate, with scrolling gilt elements and shaped feet providing stability and grandeur.
This impressive clock serves as both a functional timepiece and a statement decorative object, ideal for formal interiors, grand entryways, or curated collections of fine decorative arts.
