French Cloisonné Enamel Portico Mantel Clock

Presented is a refined French portico mantel clock, a classical “pendule portique” design distinguished by its architectural columns and richly ornamented gilt mounts. The case is executed in gilt brass/bronze and lavishly embellished with polychrome cloisonné enamel throughout—on the columns, friezes, and feet—creating a jewel-like presence in any interior. A particularly charming detail is the hand-painted enamel portrait panel to the side, framed by delicate floral ornament, lending the piece an unmistakably Parisian elegance. The clock is fitted with an enamel dial with Roman numerals and ornate hands, offering timeless decorative appeal.
