This elegant antique clock topper features a seated classical female figure, finely cast in spelter with a dark bronze-like patina. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, she embodies the neoclassical style popular in French and European decorative arts of the period. The figure is draped in flowing Greco-Roman robes, intricately detailed with gathered folds and a cinched waist. Her attire leaves one shoulder exposed in the classical tradition, suggesting both grace and strength. Her sandaled feet rest atop a stylized architectural fragment—possibly a broken column or scroll—reinforcing the theme of antiquity. Her hair is worn in an elegant updo, parted in the middle and gathered into symmetrical coils or buns, reminiscent of ancient Roman coiffure. A soft expression and serene gaze enhance her timeless beauty, while the scrollwork and fluted base beneath her seat suggest she once crowned a decorative mantel clock or garniture set. She’s seated on a taxidermy stool with horn feet and animal head–see photos. This piece is hollow cast, as was typical for the era, and measures approximately 6 inches tall. A charming example of neoclassical revival artistry, perfect for collectors of antique clocks or figural sculpture. It measures 6″ x 5.5″ x 2.5″ and is in very good antique condition. Great shelf-styling piece/addition to a collection of Greco-Roman art.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
