This clock dates to around 1890

The clock is housed in a heavy, substantial case carved from high-grade solid white marble (often specified as Carrara or statuary marble), showcasing a remarkably clean, uniform stone with subtle, natural veining. The architectural silhouette features crisp, stepped molding and is elegantly embellished with finely chased gilt-brass or ormolu mounts, including decorative side handles, beaded bezels, and classical bracket feet. The sheer weight and density of the stone reflect the exceptional luxury manufacturing of the era
