Chateau d If:
I think the marble columns are pavonazzetto.

puddin--the mermaid info is wonderful!
But the item on the mantel behind Joe is a mantel clock (Chateau called it earlier)
It seems to be a nice French clock circa 1830-80 on a white marble/alabaster base with ormolu decorations.
The lady on top is in a fairly classical pose and is probably done in bronze.
Here are some other clocks to give you an idea...
I have cross looked clocks/Warsaw/Poland castles and did get some who have clock collections--but no luck with clocks and our marble.
Clocks at Wawel royal Castle
Clocks at Choroszcz Palace

Boingo:
;D I agree, most French clocks of that period would have "classic Greek mythological themes".
Wow peach, did you ever work for the HSN. Last time I heard the word "ormulu" was on late night cable TV. :lol: All we need is an Antiques Roadshow expert and we're home free. :yess:

ormolu=fancy talk for "let's make it sound more expensive" gilt stuff! :lol:
But French antiques? I'm your girl! ;)
gingerman28:
Wawal Palace is in Krakow.
Other palaces that might work in Warsaw are:
Royal Palace: the Marble Room or New Audience Room or Knight's Hall
Myslewicki Palace, used very often for Chopin piano recitals
Palace on the Water
The White House
Wilanow Palace: Queen's Antechamber, Great Hall, or Great Crimson room.
Just a few possibilities for Poland.
