Detailed description
Richly gilded French bronze mantel clock, featuring a dynamic composition of putto figures and rich Rococo-inspired ornamentation. Based on the inscription Monbro fils aîné, Paris readable on the white enamel dial with Roman numerals, the piece can be linked to a Parisian clock workshop operating in the second half of the 19th century. The prominently decorative bronze case, fine chiseling, and quality gilding are characteristic of the representative French decorative clocks of the era. A work of art that adds strong visual emphasis in an interior, also valuable from a collector's perspective.
