About the Item

This impressive long case clock is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and horological ingenuity of the 18th century. Executed in the Louis XV style, it showcases a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality. The clock features a tall, slender case, likely crafted from ebonized wood, providing a striking contrast to the ornate gilt bronze mounts that adorn it. These mounts feature intricate details, including floral motifs, scrolling foliage, and possibly allegorical figures, characteristic of the Louis XV style. The clock face, likely made of enamel, is framed by a decorative surround, possibly featuring motifs inspired by Rococo design. The movement is a remarkable feat of horological engineering, boasting an exceptional 12-month power reserve - a truly extraordinary feature. The clock is presented in excellent condition and is sure to be a conversation starter in any setting. Its combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and impressive horological capabilities make it a truly exceptional piece.
