On offer is a stunning antique French marble and brass mantel clock, crafted by the renowned maker Berthoud Berne, celebrated for their elegant 19th-century and early 20th-century timepieces. This piece likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, and was originally part of a garniture set — the base still bears traces of where it was mounted with companion pieces, though it now stands beautifully on its own as a decorative and functional focal point.

This classical-style clock features a solid marble base and top with finely veined black and grey stone, supported by four brass Corinthian columns that give it a miniature architectural grandeur. The circular white enamel dial is set in a gilt brass drum case, complete with Roman numerals and delicate black hands. The brass casing has developed a handsome natural patina, and the clock is currently running well.

Despite some very minor chips to the marble, this piece remains in very good antique condition overall, with both visual charm and practical function.
