About the Item

Refined gilded bronze clock with splendid gilding. The piece features classical decorations, typical of the period, with festoons and musical instruments. At the top, a guitar rests on a musician's stool to the right, while to the left is a young man standing, intent on playing the flute. Above the dial, a sheet music reading "Air des Visitandines," a famous piece from the late 18th century, usually accompanied by the guitar, is depicted. The dial features Roman numerals and a key for setting the alarms. The wire suspension mechanism is period and in working order, and the chime plays the hours and half-hours. This is a clock of great taste and refinement, capable of furnishing any space with elegance and class. French manufacture, late 18th century. Dimensions: H x W x D 37 x 32 x 11cm
