Catalog Description:

C.1875, French, Bronze and Marble Figural clock, "Cleopatra", in excellent original condition. The only minor items that keep this from being outstanding are 2 replaced screws that hold the movement in the case, and the stud that holds the statue to the marble has been re-newed. Left front foot is loose; minor chip in left molding. Otherwise this is a superb example of an Egyptian Revival clock. The bronze figure of Cleopatra is finely detailed with fire gilt arm bands, bracelets and necklace, with additional gilt trim on her robe, head dress and staff. In addition the sides of the case are each trimmed with a mask with fine detail, including snake head dress. The marble retains original gilding in the incised patterns. The well made Japy movement strikes the hours on a coiled wire gong. This clock came from a home in Malden, Mass and is just the way a collector likes to find them. Height 26 inches
