Bring a touch of opulent French style to your home with this stunning Antique French Louis XIV-inspired mantel clock, dating to around 1870.

The case is richly decorated in the Boulle style, with beautiful red tortoiseshell inlay and intricate brass marquetry, a hallmark of the luxurious designs inspired by the court of Louis XIV. The clock features elegant rococo scrollwork, acanthus detailing, and a finely moulded brass surround.
