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.

Best toy for our dogs!
Color: Yellow Frisbee, Size: Large
These are great for our labs. They love to fetch and play in the back yard. Loved how sturdy these have been the last few days. The material is tough enough to withstand our boys.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.
