About the Item

Dimensions - H: 7 1/8 in W: 4 1/2 in D: 2 3/4 in Elevate your interior with this exquisite antique Italian Neoclassical style bronze ormolu desk clock, a fine example of late 19th-century craftsmanship and timeless design. Crafted with precision and adorned with luxurious detailing, this rich bronze timepiece is both a functional object and a refined statement of sophistication and taste. The clock’s structure showcases the elegant symmetry and architectural balance typical of the Neoclassical period, with influences drawn from ancient Greco-Roman design. Gilded ormolu mounts accentuate the clock's form, highlighting its delicate motifs, including neoclassical columns, and finely modeled trim work. The bronze body is finished with a deep, warm patina, providing a striking contrast to the radiant gold accents. At the center is a circular clock face, adorned with Roman numerals and delicate hands, encased beneath a domed glass cover. The face remains easy to read and perfectly complements the surrounding ornamentation. The timepiece sits atop a shaped plinth base, further stabilized by ornate feet, making it ideal for display on a desk, mantel, console table, or library shelf. Perfect for those with an appreciation for classical interiors, antique clocks, or Italian decorative arts, this piece blends utility with artistry. Whether styled in a traditional, grand millennial, or Parisian chic setting, it lends a timeless ambiance to any room. In good antique condition, the clock shows light age-related wear, including minor surface rubbing and natural patina variations. Mechanism is currently untested and may require servicing to ensure precise timekeeping.
