A beautiful Marie Antoinette style lyre mantel clock featuring an elegant combination of deep cobalt blue porcelain and richly gilded metal mounts.

Inspired by French Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette period designs, the clock is modelled in the form of a classical lyre, adorned with floral swags, ribbon decoration, musical strings, and a magnificent sunburst mask crest.

The circular enamel dial is framed by an ornate gilt bezel and decorative jewelled surround, enhancing the luxurious appearance of the piece.

Rich cobalt blue porcelain panels contrast beautifully with the gilded ornamentation, creating a striking decorative statement.

The clock is fitted with an eight-day movement which chimes on the hour and is supplied complete with its key.

The movement is currently working, making this an attractive combination of decorative art and functional timepiece.

Elegant, eye-catching, and highly decorative, this clock would make a superb focal point within a period interior, drawing room, bedroom, or collection of fine decorative clocks.
