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.

Impressive bronze mantel clock set with candelabra by Moreau, on marble pedestals. It is a kind of altar of emancipation from the time of Napoleon III. The graceful, charming huntress goddess steps down from her pedestal, taking a step into the world of mortals and time. She is the alluring and armed nymph of natures blossom. 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. Manufacturer: Signature on the figure - Moreau, Emile via and Cie mechanism. Paris Clock height 80 cm, width 50 cm, depth 27 cm, candlestick height 85.5 cm. Width: 50cm, Height: 85.5cm, Depth: 100cm, Weight: 30kg, Condition: Good, Material: Marble and gilded bronze, ID: 2792
