C.1880, French, Elaborate Enamel and Ormolu mantel clock in the style of Louis XV. This is a large, heavy, well made and impressive clock. Lions paw feet sweep up into shells and acanthus scrolls, the bottom center with a young boy lifting a torch with his right arm. The double deck top sweeps up, set off by 4 finely cast finials, the whole surmounted by an enamel urn flanked by two ormolu griffins. And there is enamel on most surfaces, shades of red, white, aqua and blue, all done in the highest quality. There is one corner chip in the beveled glass, only noticeable on close inspection. Height 25 inches
