Catalog Description:

C.1860, French, Monumental Ormolu and Marble clock in very good condition. This clock carries the name of: Deniere, Ft. De Bronzes, Paris, on the porcelain dial. The dial has a chip at 8 that has been glued back in place (looks ok). The gilt bronze statues depict 2 carefree cherubs, the left one eating grapes from the multitude of vines at their feet, the right one blowing into a conch shell. Note there is a leaf broken away and absent from the center of the vine, only visible on close inspection. The platform that holds the cherubs has a full perimeter of grape bunches. Flanking the dial are two large sprays of roses, and the curved ends of the clock with friezes of floral garlands. This clock weighs around 100 pounds, so you will need a strong mantel. The bottom piece of white marble looks to have be re-newed by a skilled stone cutter who has copied the original exactly, and with the original 4 large ormolu feet with complex bead and scroll decorations. A large and attractive clock, width 22.5 inches, height 16 inches
