French Louis XVI style bronze dore and marble mantel clock, 19th c., full-relief lovebirds and foliage surmounting case, centering white dial with Arabic hour markers, marked Selsi Paris, thirteen jewel movement also marked Selsi Paris, rising on fluted marble column, flanked by scrolled foliate supports, rising on stepped plinth, with beaded trim and foliate swag mounts, ending on arrow feet, incised France underfoot, accompanied by key, not currently operational, approx 11 1/8"h, 7.5"w, 4.25"d, 10lbs

CR 1.9.26- As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock is not currently operational, while I am not an expert on this type of clock, I note that it is very difficult to wind, indicating that the movement may be wound tight, the accompanying key is well-fitting, and the bell and striker resound nicely when manually struck, as with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning of the movement
