An ornate glazed porcelain mantel clock in the Rococo revival style, attributed to Royal Bonn with an Ansonia movement, in the La Vendee pattern. The ceramic case is finished in pale yellow and olive-green glazes, featuring heavy scrollwork and molded decorative elements accented with deep pink highlights. The upper section is set with an oval porcelain cartouche containing a hand-painted floral spray with a purple tulip and other blossoms. The circular dial features a gilt-finished sunburst centre and a white chapter ring with black Arabic numerals and black spade-style hands. No winding holes are visible on the dial face, suggesting a movement accessed from the rear of the case. The style is characteristic of decorative porcelain popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Condition report:
The porcelain case is in good visual condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glaze remains vibrant and clear. The clock movement is untested and its working status is unknown.
