A French antique mantel clock, from the late 19th century, crafted from marble and adorned with gilt bronze figures. The dial is signed "Houdebine à Paris," indicating it was retailed by Henri Houdebine, a prominent Parisian bronzier known for producing high-quality objects and sculptural works. The clock is in the Louis XVI style, characterized by its classical influences and elegant design. It features a white marble base and case, decorated with intricate gilt bronze accents and figures. The clock is surmounted by a figural group often interpreted as representing "Love and Fidelity," featuring a woman and two putti (cherubs).
It houses an eight-day movement, designed to strike on a bell, and requires keys for winding.
