Spectacular and monumental Louis XVI-style mantel clock dating back to the Belle Époque period (late 19th - early 20th century). The rich gilded metal frame, finely embossed with geometric and floral motifs, rests on four elegantly shaped feet. The piece is distinguished by the exceptional presence of four hand-painted polychrome porcelain inserts: a splendid reserve with a gallant scene at the base, a white-ground dial with floral motifs and Arabic numerals, two landscape-themed side columns, and a precious potiche (jar) above topped with a metal frieze. The mechanism is integrated inside, protected by a screw-down metal case back. In excellent vintage condition. A museum piece of exceptional decorative impact.
Dimensions: height 41 cm, base width 20 cm.
