A Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted malachite mantel clock Paris, circa 1880

The clockcase centered by a white enamel dial beneath the figure of a young boy crowing a young girl with a floral wreath while embracing her above a pair of doves, the apron centered by a musical trophy, on toupie feet, the movement stamped MEDAILLE DE BRONZE/ L. Marti et Cie./*.

Overall good condition. The back lacking the door to the movement. Some chips and restorations to the malachite veneers, some minor scratches and wear to the gilt-bronze consistent with age and use.
