Item Details
Description
A French Empire-style mantel clock
Mid-19th century
Movement marked with various numerical markings
The portico mantle clock with two-train movement, black Arabic numerals on the enameled metal dial, circular beveled glazing, and a gilt-bronze-ornamented brass case, all set upon an architectural clack and white marble base accented with figural masks, putti bearing garlands, and foliate mounts, surmounted by an eagle finial

Condition
Overall fair to good condition with scattered scuffs, light scratches, and oxidation commensurate with age. There are multiple bronze mounts that have detached from the body of the clock, including the pendulum, some of which are retained. As well, there is heavier surface grime, discoloration/staining, and adhesive residue to the marble base. Working condition unknown.
Moranis does not guarantee the working condition of clocks and watches. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
