C.1840, French Lyre Form mantel clock in very good condition.

C.1840, French Lyre Form mantel clock in very good condition. The only minor fault is that the rear cover got lost and another has been adapted to fit (looks OK). The lyre case itself shows good care over the years; the gilding is bright and eye catching. It is not clear in the photo, however there are 4 full standing ormolu columns, each topped with a small urn of flowers, and a pineapple projecting from each side; the detail on the ormolu is excellent. The crescent under the clock is cast with 4 miniature stringed lyres, all well chased and with fine detail. The dial center with cast and chased flowers on a matte background. The gilt pendulum with a cast floral pattern plus an additional miniature flower within each petal. Height 25 inches
