Large French Mantel Clock With Bronze Knight Sculpture.
At the top of the clock is depicted a medieval knight seated near a castle wall, holding a sword, shield, and banner. The shield is adorned with the fleur-de-lis, the royal symbol of France. The composition symbolizes a castle defender or a knight after battle, a very popular theme in French decorative art from the Romantic period to the 19th century. This type of figurative clock was intended for mantelpieces and elegant drawing rooms, which is why they were often large and richly decorated.
