Detailed description

French bronze mantel clock, with a central allegorical female figure and child figures, featuring a delicately patinated sculpture group. Based on the inscription Raingo Frères readable on the clock mechanism, the piece can be linked to a prestigious Parisian horological workshop from the second half of the 19th century. The sculpturally modeled figures and the dynamic, rococo-inspired gilded case reflect the high quality of the French decorative bronze industry. Its iconography and craftsmanship harmoniously unite the traditions of sculpture and horology.
