All auctions / Watches & Clocks / An ormolu mantel clock with Queen Victoria in medieval dress, by Monroux, 1832
This fine and unusual mantel clock is a rare model produced in France for the British market. The case incorporates a finely cast and chased figure of a lady in medieval dress, almost certainly Queen Victoria herself, based on the costumes worn at the Bal Costumé of 12th May 1832. The drapery and fringes are beautifully detailed with burnished edges, as is the Queen’s crown on a cushion on the floor by her feet. The shaped base of the clock incorporates the coat of arms of the British royal family with lion and unicorn supporters. The clock features silk suspension and a French drum movement, striking on a bell, and the dial is signed with the name of the prominent retailer Monroux of 221 Rue St Honoré, Paris. French, 1843.
