A charming porcelain mantel clock cast in a rococo-inspired case, its ivory scrollwork picked out in gilt accents that curl asymmetrically around the dial like carved ribbon. The cream-toned face pairs bold black Roman numerals with a delicately etched acanthus-leaf motif at center, while the base is hand-painted with a loose bouquet of roses, asters, and forget-me-nots in soft pinks, blues, and violets. There’s visible wear consistent with age and estate use — a scuff and glaze crazing near the lower molding — but the gilt detailing and painted florals remain vivid, and the piece retains its original glass-covered dial and hardware.
