This is an early to mid-20th-century General Electric Model 5800 electric mantel clock featuring an elaborate gilt figural case. The sculpture atop the clock depicts a Victorian-era or Rococo-style woman in elegant attire, possibly representing a noblewoman or romanticized historical figure. The detailed floral motifs, scrolling patterns, and intricate base design are inspired by French 19th-century mantel clocks, but this piece is an American adaptation with an electric mechanism.

General Electric produced a variety of ornate electric clocks from the 1930s-1950s, many inspired by European-style decorative clocks. These were popular for mantels, parlors, and formal interiors.
