A fine Sienna marble, French mantel clock with ‘8 day’ duration movement and bell striking on the hours and half hours which can be silenced if required. Sienna marble clocks are extremely rare and the last one we had around 15 years ago sold within a week! This clock most likely dates to around 1870 and has a slim profile which makes it an ideal size for Mantel’s. The clear white vitreous enamel dial is near perfect and the ‘moon’ hands are original too. The Malachite inlaid Urn to the front panel is bordered with a dark grey Marble and the Red sections are Griotte Marble – getting it’s name from the Morello (Griotte) Cherry. A stunning piece.
