Stock No.15758
A large and imposing Victorian Belgian black marble and bronze mantel clock of architectural form. The case is surmounted by a bronze figure of a Roman Centurion who sits on a roof of fishscale tiles. The rest of the case is carved from Belgian black marble and is modelled as an architectural facade, with both corinthian pilasters and columns framing the dial. Behind the glass door, the dial is enameled with blue Arabic numerals. Inside, there is a fine eight day French movement that strikes the hours and the half-hour hours on a single gong.
English, c.1880.
