Early 19th century;
An extraordinary French Empire clock (early 19th century), crafted entirely from mercury-gilded bronze, featuring exquisite cabinetmaking craftsmanship. The elegant architectural structure, inspired by classical temples, is supported by four columns engraved with exquisite decorative motifs and Corinthian capitals of extraordinary craftsmanship.
The enameled porcelain dial, finely signed "Angevin à Paris," features Roman numerals and hands. The exposed pendulum lends lightness and rhythm to the composition, emphasizing the purity of lines and symmetry typical of the Empire style.
Equipped with a French-made wire movement, this clock combines technical precision and aesthetic magnificence, fully embodying the elegance and monumentality of Napoleonic decorative art.
A masterpiece of watchmaking and bronzework, ideal for enriching collections of fine antiques or prestigious environments.
