A Fine Late 19th Century French Le Roy and Fils Ormolu Mantel Clock

The ornate case in the Louis XVI style with finely cast and chased ornament, a tribute to the art of the bronziers of the 18th century. The case has a large urn finial, topped with a naturalistic flower and flanked by rocaille leaf-type handles. The pedestal upon which the urn rests has a fluted base which balances on a different fluted moulding above the dial, itself flanked by pearled beading. The domed area around the dial has four small floral finials. The case has architectural columns to each side and a fine floral mount beneath the dial. The pendulum bob incorporates the mask of apollo on top of a radiating sun. The hands are beautifully pierced and chased and the blued Roman numerals on the dial contrast effectively with the black painted chapter ring and outer Arabic numerals.
