An Empire style gilt and patinated bronze mantle clock French, circa 1895

modeled with Victory crowning a bust of Napoleon I, the case centered by a white enamel dial with Roman numerals, the rouge griotte base inscribed CHAQUE HEURE / EST MARQUÉE PAR LA VICTOIRE.

Good condition overall. The gilt bronze has been cleaned. Wear to patinated bronze figures mostly to the high relief edges. The usual minor chips to marble edges. There is trace of a repair to the enamel dial around the number 9.
