French Rococo Style Mantle Clock

Masterful Sculptural Artistry
The clock's ornate casing is a breathtaking celebration of strength and elegance. It features a commanding eagle perched at the crown with wings fully spread. Beneath the eagle sits a beautifully sculpted woman, surrounded by intricate floral details and maidens of strength—a harmonious design showing profound allegorical strength throughout the entire piece. It is masterfully crafted and presented in perfect condition.
The Restoration: A Triumph of Craftsmanship
Unlike standard antique clocks, this piece has undergone an uncompromising, historically sympathetic rebuild. A previous, modern quartz conversion and paper face were completely stripped away. They have been replaced with a period-correct, mechanical 8-day pendulum movement manufactured by the world-renowned 19th-century French clockmaker, A.D. Mougin.To honor this incredible craftsmanship, the back of the case has been left open. This "naked" design offers a mesmerizing, unobstructed view of the gears, pendulum, and springs in motion.
