- French Rococo Ormolu Mantel Clock Set After Meissonnier, Samuel MartiBy S. Marti & CieLocated in Miami, FL12 of 19 A very large and fine antique French clock set, circa 1880. It is of Rococo design in the manner of Juste Aurele Meissonier and boldly modeled in gilt bronze. Waisted keyhole shape with acanthus leaf shoulders, 'C' scroll feet standing on its original integral serpentine base. To the top is a putti and a musical instrument.
