Napoleon III Striking Porcelain Mantel Clock, the Flawless Beauty of Porcelain
About the Item
Porcelain gives us perfect beauty, naked and extremely luxurious. Not all materials can bring pure beauty but no less strong before times. Thanks to its hard and sturdy construction, porcelain makes the clock more heat and moisture resistant than wooden clocks.
This mantel clock is covered with ivory white enamel, making the clock soft, luxurious, and shiny in the middle of the house. The three colors that work together are the ivory white of the porcelain, the sepia of the marble in the podium, and the bright yellow of gilt bronze in many motifs.
The technique of making a gilt bronze is very clever because the upper body wraps the dial and the lower body borders around the platform as well as the four feet. At the top of the clock is a round porcelain ball that is proportional to the body of the clock.
The dial has a round face with hour and minute hands made from luxurious gilt bronze. The dial contains 12 black Arabic numerals that stand out against a white enameled white background. The gorgeous mantel clock has a movement that works extremely well thanks to several overhauls to ensure both classic and suitable for use in families. At a glance, the appearance of the porcelain mantel clock seems simple, rustic, and without many textures.
However, it suits the style of home that prefers luxury and high aesthetics. The unique beauty of porcelain is completely glorified by smooth curves without any defects or rigidity.
The soul of this striking porcelain mantel clock is evident from head to body. It was neat enough but no less fashionable than its era was born.
This is an undeniably perfect product bearing the breath of Directoire in the late 18th in Paris, French that not everyone has the opportunity to own.
