Empire Period Mantel Clock, Thiery Paris France Movement, In Gilt Bronze.

A superb Empire period gilt bronze clock, richly ornamented and in excellent condition. The clock displays remarkable chasing quality, with very well-preserved original gilding. The white enamel dial with Roman numerals is signed “Thiery à Paris,” the signature of a Parisian clockmaker active from the late to early 19th century. On the simple top is an Empire-style rosette flanked by an arch and a torch. The bas-relief on the base depicts two putti (cherubs) in a decorative scene typical of early 19th-century Neoclassical iconography. The movement is complete but needs servicing. Its dimensions in cm: 21.5 x 15 x 43 (height). This item is also available for viewing in my shop in Morbihan, southern Brittany, where you can collect it if you wish.
