AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
19th-century desktop alarm clock, made of ebonized wood with an architectural neoclassical-inspired structure. The case features a symmetrical and compact design, with a stepped base, side columns, and carved floral finials that add elegance and visual balance. The deep black finish—resulting from the ebonizing process—imitates the appearance of ebony, highly valued in the era for its sophistication and contrast with metal elements.
The circular dial, framed by a gilded brass bezel, displays Roman numerals and stylized hands, while the large metal bell located beneath the dial indicates its function as a mechanical alarm clock, probably manually wound. The ensemble combines functional precision with restrained ornamentation, reflecting bourgeois taste for refined and useful objects.
This type of clock, designed for domestic use, represents a synthesis between watchmaking technology and decorative design, and its preservation with original patina and intact fittings makes it a piece of interest for both collectors and lovers of historical furniture.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
