AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fire-gilded bronze mantel clock, with rich adornment of pastel-toned enamelled French ceramics integrated into the side panels and the center of the dial. The decoration features delicately painted floral motifs, typical of the Romantic taste of the 19th century. At the top rises a bronze sculptural figure representing a genre scene: a man in period attire, in a relaxed pose and bearing a sword, evoking the bourgeois and narrative ideal of the era.

The clock is of mechanical movement, without striking, and although it remains functional, it requires servicing due to natural wear over time. It lacks a key, which suggests it has not been recently intervened. Its base, profusely decorated with scrollwork, garlands, and vegetal motifs, reinforces the ornamental and collectible character of the piece, which blends horological technique with high-quality decorative sculpture. Ideal for collectors or spaces that value applied art and historical evocation.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
