AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful bronze mystery swinging clock. Probably made in Italy (or France). 19th century.
Please note that I am not entirely sure about the power reserve.
Also the decoration at the top and bottom has come off and will require glueing back. Haven’t done it as less likely to get damaged in transit.
