Antique French Bronze Mantel Clock with Madonna and Child, Mechanical, Requires Service

0 out of 5

Decorative antique French bronze mantel clock with Madonna and Child sculpture. Mechanism present, key missing, requires service by a clockmaker.

Description

This antique French interior clock is a richly decorated bronze mantel clock featuring a Madonna and Child figure at the top. The design has a strong devotional and decorative presence, with elaborate bronze ornamentation and a classic French mantel form that makes it a striking display piece.

The clock mechanism is present, but the key is missing and the piece will require attention from a clockmaker before use. One of the moving decorative elements, including the Madonna’s head and the left petal, is mobile, suggesting a likely animated function linked to the clock’s striking mechanism.

This is an interesting antique clock for collectors of French bronze objects, religious-themed décor, or decorative mantel clocks. Even as a restoration project, it has strong visual appeal and collectible character.
