Here we have a stunning Victoria Era French Gold Gilt Spelter Figural Mantle Clock. Subject being a scholar.
This piece is a great reminder of the excellence achieved with the fusion of timepieces and decorative sculptures.
As part of its journey in life it has had some damages which in my opinion adds to its character and survivor statues. The photos show extent of damage on rear face of clock and repairs on its marble base.
Please refer to photos for condition.
