| Mantel Clock French, 1847-1855 Purchased by Prince Albert The Royal Collection |
During her state visit to France in 1855, Queen Victoria became enchanted by the figural clocks designed by Parisian clockmakers, The Miroy Frères. Prince Albert purchased five or more of their finest slate, ormolu and enamel clocks for his wife. This one, with its hunting-themed sculpture, was purchased specifically for their Scottish home in Balmoral.
