Early 19th Century Vase Pendule, Pendulum-Clock, Tardy à Lyon, Empire circa 1820

About the Item

Antique vase clock France Fire gilded bronze Empire around 1820 Dimensions: H x W x D: 41 x 13 x 12 Description: Beautiful all gilt French mantel clock. The basic form is in the shape of an urn vase with lid and side handles. Approximately square base with applied flower basket in bas-relief. The dial is centered in the front view of the vase and is framed by a finely chased bezel. In the four corners we see applied arrows. The side-mounted female faces, so-called caryatids support the handles, which in turn end in heads of dolphins or mythical creatures at the top. The heart of the clock is a classic French pendulum movement with thread suspension of the pendulum and lock wheel striking. Strike on bell on the half and full hour. The duration of the movement is one week. Black Roman numerals, Breguet hands. In the lower part of the dial we can see the signature: Tardy à Lyon. Condition: Completely overhauled movement, flawless in function. Cleaned bronze with light rubbing of fire gilding on the sides. This vase clock is illustrated in the literature: Elke Niehüser - The French Bronze Clock p. 267.
