French 19th Century Empire Portico Clock

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
This elegant period Empire ormolu-mounted white marble portico clock, c. 1830, is from France. The floral-and-foliate ormolu-mounted frieze sits above four Doric columns with gilt bronze collars and bases and surround the workings. The 4-1/2″ enamel dial is marked “Sacré à Paris” and displays black hand-painted Roman numerals and housed in a gilt-bronze acanthus-leaf bezel over an unadorned pendulum. The whole rests on an ormolu-mounted plinth base with gilt-bronze pad feet. It has been cleaned and is in working condition. This clock would be exquisite set atop a darker contrasting mantle or console table!
