This charming Louis XVI-style mantel clock is a fine example of French decorative craftsmanship, likely dating from the late 19th century. The clock features a white enamel dial signed Oudin and Marseille, framed in a finely chiseled gilt bronze case adorned with a playful Cupid figure holding a rose and bow, a classic symbol of love. The cherub sits gracefully atop the drum-shaped movement casing, which rests on a white marble base embellished with an ornate frieze of gilded scrollwork and floral motifs.
The sculptural quality of the bronze is remarkable, with intricate detailing in the wings, quiver, and facial expression of the putto. The dial is set with beautifully pierced gilt hands and is flanked by winding holes, showing it is a mechanical movement.
Please note: This clock is being sold as a decorative object. The movement has not been serviced or tested, and we cannot guarantee its timekeeping function. The mechanism appears intact but is offered as is, without restoration. Ideal for collectors or interior designers seeking a striking decorative accent with authentic French charm.
A delicate, romantic piece that will bring elegance and historical flair to any mantel, console, or bookshelf.
