France, a fine late 19th century figural mantel clock, the patinated bronze sculpture of "La Nymphe Chloris" rendered in exquisite detail, the dancing figure on the toes of her left foot, her arms raised above her head, with flowers in her hair and left hand, her dress expertly rendered, trailing and flowing in response to her movement, on a molded plinth signed by sculptor "Eugene Delaplanche" and also by the founder "F. Barbedienne", resting on a gilt bronze base having scroll feet, with rococo ornament including C scrolls, acanthus, and a stylized scallop shell, roman numeral white enamel dial with gilt Louis XIV style hands, and 8 day, two train movement with lever platform, striking the hours and half hour on a bell, signed "J. Dupont Paris"
