A Restauration ormolu and Rouge Griotte marble mantle clock, after the model by Claude Michallon circa 1820

Overall in fair condition, the gilding is original but with the usual light scratches and tarnishing. The two floral roundels, which join the swags decorating the marble plinth, are later. A ribbon is lacking on the top proper right hand side. Chips and nicks to marble edges, a visible larger chip is now secured with tape. Black roman numerals of dial show wear. Bronze mount decorating the clock case beneath the dial is lacking, with holes now filled up with red filler. Psyche is most probably lacking a jug. Both wings of psyche will need to be tightened. Bell, winder, and pendulum are present. However, the glass cover covering the movement is lacking. Please note that the movement has not been checked for functionality. However, the movement is complete and may be put into a working state by a professional horologist.
