antique clocks: mantel clocks
Mantel clocks (or 'Shelf clocks') are relatively small house clocks traditionally placed on the shelf, or mantel, above the fireplace. The form, first developed in France in the 1750s, can be distinguished from earlier chamber clocks of similar size due to a lack of carrying handles. These clocks are often highly ornate, decorative works. They are most frequently constructed from any combination of ormolu, porcelain, and wood. One of the most common and valued types of mantel clocks are the French Empire-style timepieces.

Bronze fireplace clock set with candelabra.

Its plasticity and silhouette are consistent with the unbridled splash of sprouting bronze in the six-armed candelabra. Also a common stylistic denominator is the monumental-Renaissance work on marble and an abundant arsenal of bronze decor with torches - raising the ensemble to the altar of the Goddess.

An impressive mantel clock with a mounted hussar above the dial. Fine metal work and coordinated coloring represent a mounted hussar in an attack in the mountains. Snatching a saber on a rearing horse, he climbs onto a rock. The Hungarian horsemans headdress perhaps indicates and romanticizes the Hungarian revolutionary events of 1848-1849.

The subtle texture of the silvered pendulum and the matching patina of the horse set off the overall sound of gold. Its large ligature of the Renaissance pattern is a sign of the time of Louis Philippe - the end of romanticism. H-44cm. A complete revision of the mechanism was carried out.
