LARGE FRENCH BRONZE & MARBLE FIGURAL ARISTOTLE MANTEL CLOCK CASE, 27"H, 19th c
MONUMENTAL 19th c. FRENCH BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK CASE – ARISTOTLE AFTER HENRI PICARD – GREEN MARBLE, GILT & PATINATED BRONZE – 27" TALL
This magnificent museum-scale French mantel clock case, late 19th century, features a finely cast and patinated bronze sculpture of the philosopher Aristotle, modeled after Henri Picard (French, 1831–1864). The great scholar reclines in classical form, draped in flowing robes, one arm resting thoughtfully on a plinth, while the other holds a scroll—symbol of knowledge, reason, and intellectual authority.
Below the figure sits the original green marble platform over an ornate gilt and patinated bronze base richly decorated with scrollwork, grape-vine foliate swags, and cast lion-paw feet. The central enameled dial displays Arabic numerals and is marked Seth Thomas (Sessions), showing age-appropriate wear including crazing and varnish loss. The piece is being offered as a case only—no clock movement included.
This is a commanding statement piece for a library, formal office, classical interior, or academic setting—one of those rare and impressive bronzes that immediately becomes the focal point of a room.

WHY THIS PIECE IS IMPORTANT
Henri Picard was a highly respected Parisian bronzier known for supplying pieces to the Napoleon III court and the Palais du Louvre. Mantel clock sculptures in his style are highly sought after, especially in large format examples such as this. Academic subjects—particularly Aristotle, Plato, Homer—remain among the most collected classical figures.

Small
A little small but my dog loved them. Does not hold up to a shredder though. Perfect for typical toy lovers

None of the stuffing pulled out
I have 3 dogs. 1 is very gentle w/ stuffed toys. 1 is new to us and very anxious and kept stealing things like water bottles to gnaw on. And 1 destroys every stuffed toy we have ever brought into the house. We bought these for the anxious one. She was recently adopted and very people shy and afraid of the world around her. She doesn't know how to play with people and she's terrified if you try to throw a ball or if you squeak a squeaker, but we also needed something durable enough for her chewing that would be safe for her and could also withstand the toy destroyer possibly getting hold of it. They've been playing with these for a few months now and the most damage is that some of the rope necks are a bit frayed and a lot of the fuzz on the outside is gone, but none of them have been torn open. And the squeakers are in there in a way that it's hard to make them squeak if not doing so intentionally. The 1 dog can have plush toys again, the 1 dog can gnaw and chew to reduce her anxiety and the 3rd can chew and attack it without me having to clean up stuffing all the time

Very durable
Color: 3 Pack Donkey Giraffe Dog
For some reason I thought they would be a little bigger but I have to say they are very durable. My Saint Bernard has not shredded them to pieces yet. Normally the toys last a day or two but he still has them after 3 weeks. 👍
