Description

This fabulous antique brass figural mantel clock features a lively cherub figure dramatically hoisting the circular clock housing aloft, surrounded by sweeping acanthus leaf scrollwork and a richly ornamented Rococo-style footed base. The back plate of the clock movement reveals winding holes, adjustment ports, and sun-and-moon indicators consistent with a strike and alarm movement, suggesting a French or Continental origin likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The warm golden brass patina shows honest age and wear consistent with a piece of this era, adding authenticity and charm rather than detracting from its considerable presence. The movement housing is intact and the case is structurally sound, making this a wonderful display piece or a rewarding project for the clockmaker looking to bring a showstopper back to ticking life.
