Maison Alphonse Giroux was a well-known Paris luxury retailer and cabinetmaking firm founded in 1799 by François-Simon-Alphonse Giroux. During the 19th century, the company specialized in fine furniture, bronzes, clocks, decorative arts, and luxury goods, supplying items to the French royal court and exhibiting at major international expositions. …The movement of this fine-quality Bronze Mantle Clock is marked with the number “837,” and with a “J.E.D.” inside an oval maker’s mark. This mark is associated with Swiss clockmaker Jules-Edouard Déhon, a late 19th-century maker whose movements were used in a number of high-quality European decorative clocks. ...... Measuring 15” tall, the Bronze Clock case has a two-toned surface featuring a dark patina with gold-gilt accents. It is mounted on a 7” long by 4” wide by 1 ¾” tall, six-footed stepped black slate base with curved sides and a bronze ormolu beaded frieze around the beveled edge. The gilt bronze clock case has its original 2 ¾” diameter convex porcelain dial with colorful enameled floral garland swags accented with gold-gilt fleur-de-lis motifs around the black enameled Arabic numerals. This dial retains its original decorative cut Louis XVI gold gilt hands and convex beveled edge glass crystal. Below the bezel is a finial depicting a bunch of grapes with large grape leaves. The tall central architectural column is supported on either side by a figural nude winged angel women, draped in acanthus-leaf skirts tied around their waist. Mounted at the top of the column is a celestial globe or orb finial with stars and a band depicting a procession of zodiac symbols. The globe is nestled on a bed of acanthus leaves with scientific instruments, including a telescope, a star glob, a ruler, and a triangle, all placed amongst acanthus leaves beneath the globe. ...... This 19th-century Maison Alphonse Giroux Clock is in original, unrestored condition, and displays nicely, however there is some chipping to the edges of the slate base including one larger chip to the back left-edge. The spring is strong, but the movement needs some cleaning and lubrication as the clock is not currently running. We guarantee that with a little cleaning or slight adjustment, this clock will keep accurate time once again. As always, we have listed this antique 19th-Century Maison Alph Giroux J.E.D. Mantel Clock without reserve. ...
