Table/desk clock - Bronze - 1850-1900

A small, half-round clock, all in bronze, surmounted by a winged angel who demands silence by lifting a finger to his lips. Naked and plump, the cherub smiles subtly, his gaze cast downward. He leans on the clock, decorated with a large Louis XVI knot and garlands of flowers that adorn large flutes. In the center, a white-background dial is decorated with blue numerals and with hands finely cut. Around it, a small crown of pearls outlines this dial in perfect condition. The lower part of the base features sculptures of laurel-leaf garlands and graceful geometric friezes.
The piece rests on three refined feet that rotate.
Brilliant and well carved, this clock will bring a touch of elegance to your decor thanks to the refinement of its decorations.
