Authentic French Napoleon III mantel clock from the second half of the 19th century (c. 1870-1890). The Napoleon III period is known for its rich decoration, luxurious materials, and refined craftsmanship. Such clocks adorned the mantels of wealthy bourgeois homes at the time and were a status symbol. This clock is crafted in black marble with red/pink marble accents, gilded ornaments, and an enameled dial with Roman numerals. An elegant and timeless design that perfectly reflects the French decorative art of that period. The clock comes with the original pendulum and winding key. The movement ticks when the pendulum is attached but stops after a short time and likely requires maintenance or adjustment. Ideal for a collector, antique enthusiast, or restoration project. A beautiful antique eye-catcher that possesses both decorative and historical value and fits perfectly into a classic, country, or eclectic interior. Condition: Good overall condition with normal signs of use and age, befitting an object over 140 years old. See photos for an accurate impression.
