Marble and Bronze clock by Théodore GECHTER - XIXth

Very elegant white marble clock topped with its patinated bronze signed Théodore Gechter * (1795 - 1844) displaying a pompous horse and his groom holding his back leg.

Its white marble carved and molded on its bevelled angles is bordered by a large frieze in gilded bronze adorned with leaves and flowers.
Period: Early nineteenth.

Perfect condition after complete overhaul. Works perfectly.
