A beautiful antique French clock. Its is finely modelled in ormolu (finely gilded bronze) and features two lions to each side of an urn to the top. To each side of the dial are exquisite winged goddesses formed into the side of the case. The original gilding is finely matted and polished for a beautiful contrast.
The dial is also bronze ormolu with 12 individual enamel cartouches, blued steel hands and convex glass. The rear door is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
