Antique Bronze Chariot Mantel Clock Attributed to Francois LinkeThe gilt bronze (ormolu) clock is designed in the shape of a chariot, which is pulled by a patinated bronze, half-length winged female figure, wearing a turban that is decorated with a plume of gilt feathers. The chariot is composed of a dynamic combination of C and S scroll acantus leaves and curling pierced forms. It is mounted, on its front, with a circular gilt bronze dial, with blue and white enamel Roman Numerals. The chariot is driven by a patinated bronze putto, who holds aloft a flaming gilt bronze torch.
