About the Item

Napoleon III pedestal with clock Onyx marble column and champleve enamel with golden bonce The watch has very fine machinery and is stamped Vincenti y Cia 1855 The machinery works Circa 1870 Origin France some natural wear and minor repairs to the marble Emperor Napoleon wanted to be surrounded by a sumptuous court. He tried to connect with the pomp of the First Empire and tried with his orders to promote the development of French industry. But the evolution of the decorative arts owes more to the Empress Eugenie than to the emperor. She is very attracted to the styles of the past, especially the Louis XVI style. She gives an important place in her apartments to the furniture of Marie Antoinette or inspired by the latter. Cabinetmakers are not content to find inspiration in this style, but also in all the others. The sumptuousness and polychromy are typical of the Second Empire style. Likes to show wealth. It is the art of tinsel and glitter. No matter the veracity of the copy, there is no pure and simple imitation. Only the most ostentatious and most radiant is preserved.
