About the Item
This graceful gilt bronze striking clock is from France’s Directoire period.

The back opens with a fabric lined pierced metal door. It has ball feet and a gadrooned top mounted with a moving globe of concentric circles. The timepiece’s pendulum is placed behind the clock giving it a more subtle appearance when in motion. It strikes on the hour and half hour. An elegant addition to any room. In running order.
