A good late 18th century French ormolu mantel clock
The matte and burnished case cast with a spray of flowers over trailing grape vines and wheat sheaves on an open work frame raised on lion paw feet to a black marble plinth with cherub-cast frieze on turned feet.

The spring driven movement with flat-bottomed circular plates united by four pinned pillars, the tic-tac escapement with silk suspension and outside count wheel strike on a bell. Ticking and striking the hours and half-hours. 53cms (21ins) high
