French-Style Gilt Bronze and Onyx Mantle Clock with Putti Figures

This is an elaborate, ornate mantle clock designed in the French Louis XV or Rococo Revival style, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The clock features a vertically oriented central housing topped with a decorative urn finial flanked by scrolling openwork. Distinctive bronze putti or cherub figures appear on either side of the dial, seemingly pulling on chains or ribbons, which adds a dynamic, sculptural element to the piece. The body is constructed from cast gilt metal (possibly bronze or spelter) with a rich, dark patina showing some surface wear and oxidation. The base is composed of tiered, light-green onyx or marble slabs resting atop an intricate four-footed scrolled metal pedestal. The white enamel dial features Roman numeral hour markers and two winding holes, protected by a glass bezel. Visible condition issues include heavy surface dust, minor tarnishing of the metal finish, and what appears to be a small chip or hairline fracture on the front-left portion of the onyx base. The craftsmanship displays high complexity with various textures and cast motifs, including floral swags and classical architectural silhouettes.
