1900"s clock-works-original finish. BEAUTIFUL enhancements-the insides appear to be original(according to clock appraiser) By 1890 the English and the American markets were open to the importation of French and German mantel clocks in large numbers. The use of neo-classical figures was very popular in Victorian times, and the half nude female bust at the pediment of the clock echoed Greek themes in art. The nude female figures with animals in base relief on either side of the clock echoes German hunting themes. The best way to differentiate French and German marble statue clocks would be to look at the movement closely, which I cannot do with these pictures. The French made a much finer movement, usually the plates are round rather than rectangular as these are. The French usually marked their back plate with a name , a trade mark or a medallion. The Germans rarely marked their clocks because most were used for export, and they were essentially imitating French clocks for foreign markets. The style of hands on the face of the clock were used in all three countries (England, France and Germany). One of the keys here however is that your clock is a timepiece, it does not strike. Timepieces were produced in large numbers in mantel, wall and grandfather clocks in Germany. So my conclusion is that you have a multi-colored marble mantel clock made of "Belgian marble" with works, dial and hands likely from Germany, circa 1890, and made for sale in England or the U.S.A.(A quote from the appraiser.) -Bought it more than 10 yrs. ago!!It It does work-wind up with key!.
