Bondat France is a stunning and rare timepiece of French craftsmanship. The set is hand-carved with a neo-classic geometric design and intricate acanthus leaves decor. This refined execution is complemented by its exquisite dial with gilded bronze framing and beveled glass protection. The dial features delicate and beautiful enamel detailing with floral motives. The clock has its original movement and will come with its genuine two keys and pendulum. The eight-day mechanism is in good working condition but might need some servicing upon arrival at your home to ensure the clock keeps the time properly. The central mantelpiece is ornate by its two original hand-carved marble pedestals once used to display statues or vases. Each pedestal is marked underside with a hand-written engraved J. Bondat mark.
This mantle clock set is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind piece, or a custom-made order, designed and crafted for its 19th-century owner with his hand-carved monogram on the lower front.
This clock set is the perfect addition to any classic interior. The white Carrara marble and minimalist execution make it a very modern decoration.
This clock set is heavy and will need a solid fireplace or piece of furniture to put it on.
The clock and pedestals are in good overall condition, with a couple of scuffs on the marble, especially on the feet. Please check the close-up.
