A striking mantel clock crafted in dore bronze and set upon a richly colored lapis lazuli base, executed in a dramatic and highly decorative classical style. The clock features a sculptural figural composition, depicting a standing figure in period attire, posed beside the timepiece and holding an object aloft, adding narrative and movement to the design.
The central clock case is adorned with elaborate gilt bronze ornamentation, including scrolling foliage, classical motifs, and a shaped crest above. The circular dial features Roman numerals set against a dark ground, creating strong contrast and enhancing legibility, while the ornate hands complement the surrounding decoration.
The base is formed from vivid lapis lazuli, displaying deep blue tones with natural variations and subtle inclusions, providing a bold and luxurious contrast to the warm gilt bronze. The stepped base is further enhanced with decorative bronze mounts and rests on small feet, giving the piece a stable and elevated presence.
The combination of sculptural form, intricate bronze work, and the rich lapis base exemplifies the elegance of European decorative arts. This clock serves as both a functional timepiece and a statement decorative object, ideal for a mantel or formal interior.
