French Courting Couple Mantel Clock

This idyllic French sculptural mantel clock takes the form of a courting couple sitting leisurely in a tree swing. Rendered in beautiful detail, the swing is suspended between two tree branches draped with vines and leaves. Incorporated into the center of the enchanting woodland scene is a hand-painted porcelain dial that displays the time on Arabic numerals with blued steel hands. Powering the clock is an 8-day movement that strikes a bell on the hour and half-hour. The picturesque sculpture and clock rest on an elegant Italian pink marble plinth adorned with gleaming cast ormolu scrollwork.

This enchanting mantel clock bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
