Mantel clock - Bronze (gilt/silvered/patinated/cold painted), Marble, Zamac - Late 19th century

[ translate ]

Antique French clock made of mercury-gilded bronze on the front, and with a Zamak patinated sculpture. 19th century. Mercury-gilded openwork base with profuse floral decoration and two white marble plates. In excellent condition. Allegory of hunting, with a Montería hunter accompanied by his hound dog, playing a typical bugle of the time. The sculpture is nicely done and it manages to express realism and movement of the scene. 8-day Paris mechanism, thread pendulum and hourly and half-hour chimes on bell. White porcelain dial with some visible hairline. Black Roman numerals and Breguet ‘moon’ hands. Excellent antiquity with a high decorative power. Large size. 50 x 35 x 13 cm. The photos are part of the description. There are no warranties for clocks this old nor is their time accuracy guaranteed. During transport, the clock may experience slight malfunctions. Therefore, the new owner should have some minimal expertise in this kind of clocks for a quick fine-tuning. No returns accepted. Shipping costs depend on the weight and volume of the parcel and the shipment is insured against loss based on its value; but, since it is an antique piece, the insurance does not cover breakage.
