Description

Table clock; France, third quarter of the nineteenth century. Chiseled and burnished bronze. Piece revised in 2018. Preserves key and pendulum. It presents faults in the glass and slight wear. Measurements: 38 x 53 x 13 cm. Napoleon III table clock with gilded bronze case. It presents a rococo-inspired design in combination with classical motifs such as the scrolls, a venera or the upper cornucopia. The two little child angels flanking the sphere, worked in round, provide compositional symmetry to the whole, topped with a top. The curvilinear body, chiseled at the base with gadroons. The enameled and glazed porcelain case has Roman numerals in black and gold-colored openwork hands. The decorative elements that are part of the clock continue the aesthetic that recalls the ornamentation used in Antiquity both Greek and Roman, but always maintaining a high degree of sumptuousness, adding the eclecticism of Renaissance or neoclassical inspiration. Part overhauled in 2018. Retains key and pendulum. It presents faults in the crystal and slight wear.
