AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This 19th-century wall clock, known as the “bull’s-eye,” is an emblematic piece of the Napoleon III style, characterized by its wavy dark wood frame and its rich ornamentation in polychrome marquetry with floral and starry motifs that surround the dial. The design, with a strong stage presence, reflects the decorative taste of the second half of the 19th century, where time was measured with art and theatricality.
The dial, with Roman numerals, displays a visible crack that does not compromise its readability but does add a layer of authenticity and narrative to the piece, evoking the passage of time not only in function but in material. This detail, far from diminishing its value, reinforces its character as a historical object bearing a trace.
Ideal for collectors, decorators, or furniture lovers with a soul, this clock brings together presence, history, and beauty in a single piece.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
