An Antique French Slate and Marble Mantel Clock
This antique French mantel clock is housed in a case of black slate with green veined marble side panels and a stepped plinth base. The architectural form, with its recessed front panel and tiered base, is characteristic of French mantel clocks. The clock is identified as model P R 1280 and is described as working by key. The dial is white enamel with black Roman numerals and two subsidiary dials, set within a brass bezel with an engraved border.
Condition and Originality
The slate case shows general surface wear, including light marks and scuffing, and the glass is currently held in place with adhesive tape. The lot is offered as presented, and no further details of its originality or service history are supplied. Its combination of slate and marble, its French origin and its key operation may appeal to collectors of antique mantel clocks, and to buyers seeking a decorative clock for a traditional interior.
