Three-piece Spelter Mantel Clock Set – 19th Century

Three-Piece Spelter Mantel Clock Set – 19th Century. An elegant three-piece patinated spelter mantel clock set dating from the 19th century, depicting a draped female figure in the antique style, seated and reading, a classical allegory of the arts or reflection. The finely modeled sculpture rests on an architecturally designed base of fine veined marble. The circular enamel dial with Arabic numerals is framed by a gilt brass bezel. The movement is integrated into a block of marble forming the clock's body. The set is completed by two matching decorative cassolettes, placed on either side, reinforcing the symmetry and decorative character of the piece. Clock dimensions: Height: 34 cm Width: 42 cm Condition: Good overall condition for a 19th-century piece. Wear and patina consistent with age. Mechanism untested (to be confirmed upon verification), marble in good condition with possible minor age marks. A decorative and refined clock, typical of 19th-century neoclassical taste, ideal for a mantelpiece, console table, or classic interior.
