French Gilt and Silvered Bronze Miniature Mantel Clock, Raingo Fréres. circa 1845.

A very nice French mid-nineteenth century miniature mantle clock by Raingo Fréres. The cast gilt-bronze architectural multi-tiered case has elaborate floral designs on the case panels, the moldings and the domed top. It is also adorned in silvered-bronze mounts that include the toupie feet, an elaborate balustrade, four large corner balusters, multiple cartouches and winged figural corbels. The dial has a shaped cast decorative center, white porcelain cartouche numbers with black roman numerals and steel-cut blued tre-foil hands. The small eight-day time only movement is accessed via a lift out cast door, is wound off the backplate, retains its original silk-thread suspension with the fast/slow adjustment off the back and is stamped by both the movement maker, 'Cailly', and the clockmaker, 'Raingo Freres, Paris'.

Ref: Raingo Fréres are listed in Tardy's as working from 1829 to at least 1862.

Height - 8.5 inches.
