Figural mantel clock - Bronze, Wood - 1850-1900 - Gilded bronze pendulum

Magnificent high-end pendulum clock in mercury-gilt bronze from the Napoleon III era. It depicts a woman with a jewelry box and books. The woman is seated; the clock is topped by two birds. The dial is signed Planchon in Bourges.
The clock has not been re-gilded; it is indeed the original gilding. It was under the glass dome, and unfortunately the dome is broken.
The mechanism is complete with winding key and balance wheel, but it will need adjustment because the clock stops after a while.
It is placed on a golden wooden base with a few chips; see photos.
