A Louis XVI style gilt-bronze and fleur de pêcher marble mantle clock Paris, circa 1885

the white enamel dial signed Maurice Richermoz / A Paris, the twin-train movement stamped F. PELISSIER / FRANCE and numbered, the flambeaux surmounting the clock stamped MADE IN FRANCE to the reverse.

Overall good condition. Both putti with a corroded area to the back of their necks of approximately 1/4 inch square. The gilt-bronze in good condition with very minor tarnishing. The column surmounting the clock is a bit off center. The marble with very minor chips to edges. There is no key, no pendulum, but with bell. The glass dial face is lacking and the gilt-bronze mount beneath the base to the center of the clock will need to be tightened back.
