A de Raudery Art Nouveau Antimony Mantel Clock with Pair of Flower Vases

This stunning Art Nouveau-style mantel clock is a true work of art that transports us to the splendor of the 19th century in France. It was created during that era by the skilled sculptor A. de Raudery, whose signature graces the sculpture's base. The centerpiece of this clock features a contemplative young girl holding a lyre, an evocative representation of creativity and artistic contemplation. A. de Raudery, a renowned French sculptor, trained under the guidance of his own father, the painter Auguste Guillemin, and later studied with Jean-Jules Salmson. His mastery in sculpture is reflected in every detail of this masterpiece.

A. de Raudery's creation combines the elegance of the Art Nouveau style with the richness of the materials used, bronze and antimony, giving it exceptional quality and a unique patina. This mantel clock not only showcases the artistic talent of its creator but also provides a glimpse into the history of sculpture and design in 19th-century France.

Along with this main piece, a pair of beautiful vases is also included, although they are not a matching set with the clock, they share the same elegance of style, material, and patina. These vases, signed by another talented artist, perfectly complement the overall beauty and aesthetics of this collection.
