Detailed description

Richly gilded French bronze mantel clock, featuring a central allegorical female figure and child figures, with a delicately patinated sculptural group. According to the inscription on the clock mechanism Raingo Frères, the piece can be linked to a prestigious Parisian clockmaker's workshop from the second half of the 19th century. The plastically modeled figures and the dynamic, rococo-inspired gilded case reflect the high standards of the French decorative bronze industry. Its iconography and execution harmoniously encapsulate the traditions of sculpture and clock artistry.
