Antique Art Nouveau Seth Thomas Mantel Clock Bronzed Gilt Figural Fairy Cherub

Offering this rare and beautiful Art Nouveau mantel clock by Seth Thomas. It features a lithe fairy figure on one side of the clock’s pillar and a cherub on the other side. The fairy has a realistic face and body and moth-like wings, and the cherub is a typical Cupid-style figure with a mandolin. There are Art Nouveau motifs throughout, from the sinuous feet to the pebbled texture of the pillar to the windblown ribbon to the scrolls and roses on top. There is normal gilt wear around the edges, but as you can see, the most notable wear to the piece is on top of the base where the gilt has worn away and there is verdigris/surface rust. But the majority of the clock is in nice condition for its age. There are no breaks, losses, or repairs. The clock face is complete and clean. The key is a vintage replacement from West Germany, but the works start right up upon winding. Truly a must-have for Seth Thomas fans and Art Nouveau collectors – I couldn’t find another example like it! Measures about 15″ tall and 8″ x 5 across the base.
