Antique French Bronze Gilt and Marble Mantle Clock Christopher Columbus
Large, impressive French bronze and marble mantle clock. The lower half consists of two bands of decorative bronze gilt and two bands of yellow marble. The upper half consists of a dark bronze figure of Christopher Columbus standing on a bronze gilt shoreline, a map in his right hand.

The dial is finely engine turned and silvered. Twin train silk suspension movement striking the hours and once on the half hour. The back of the movement is marked "283", "7 - 7" and "G&C". Measures 24 3/4" high x 17 1/4" wide x 5 1/4 deep.

The case is complete and in very good condition, the fire gilt is all original. The movement has been completely reconditioned by a qualified clock repair service and is in good working order. The figure doesn't actually resemble the historic Columbus and could reasonably be identified as any one of a number of explorers, but most authorities identify this iconography as intended to represent Columbus.
