Brass Portico Mantel Clock with Pendulum

This portico-style mantel clock draws on centuries-old French clockmaking tradition, its round brass-framed dial suspended between twin sets of fluted columns like a miniature temple facade. A gently swinging pendulum, medallion-detailed, ticks below the face, adding both movement and old-world charm to any room. Crisp black Arabic numerals sit against a warm ivory dial, ornamented at its center with a fine floral engraving. Above, a scrolled brass crest and a polished green-stone finial crown the piece, echoing the deep green marble base beneath — its cool, veined stone lending weight and elegance to the antique brass tones throughout. A piece like this is traditionally placed in the living room or study, where in Feng Shui a working clock is believed to keep the flow of time and fortune moving steadily through the home, while its symmetrical, temple-like form is thought to bring balance and harmony to the space it occupies. Equally at home on a mantel, sideboard, or bookshelf, this clock brings timeless sophistication to classic and transitional interiors alike.
