C.1895, French, Gilded Spelter Mantel clock

23 October 2024
in the Louis XV style with delicately painted porcelain panels, also swags and garlands decorating the case, and in good condition except as noted. Each side trim on the top urn is lacking its bottom extension that anchors it to the urn, and one of these is a bit worse than the other; one rear case screw has the head broken off. Still, the gilding is original and bright and none of the porcelain panels is damaged, and the missing bits are only noticed on close examination. The well made bell strike movement is singed H and F, Paris, and appears to have been recently cleaned. Lots of "look" for the money. Height 20 inches
