AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant antique French mantel clock (pendule de cheminée) from the 19th century, crafted in gilded bronze (ormolu). The clock features a heavily cast bronze case with richly worked ornaments and a refined, gold-colored finish, characteristic of high-quality French pendules from this period.
The substantial weight and the fine detailing indicate a bronze base with gilding rather than brass. The various components of the timepiece are numbered, which suggests an original and matching construction.
The clock is equipped with a traditional French mechanical eight-day movement with bell strike. It is a classic pendulum clock without extra complications such as a calendar or date display.
A characterful antique object that is both decoratively attractive and interesting for enthusiasts of French pendulum clocks or for light restoration.
