AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
French slate and gilded bronze mantel clock (table clock), 19th century.
Splendid Napoleon III–style table clock, made in fine glossy black slate. The architectural design, typical of the French school of the late 1800s, is distinguished by its sober elegance and strict lines.
Main features
Material: Solid black slate case with elegant gold floral and geometric engravings.
Dial: White enamel with black Roman numerals, protected by an original domed glass and a finely relief-worked brass bezel.
Movement: French "Parigina" movement (probably Japy Frères or similar), with anchor escapement and a bell strike that marks the hours and half-hours.
Striking: On a gong (blue-steel spiral) with harmonious chimes.
Suspension: Lamella suspension (typical of the more precise late 19th-century models).
Marks: Original numerical punch marks on the rear plate.
Dimensions: Height 35 x Width 20 x Depth 18 cm.
Weight: Very heavy at 11.4 kg, a typical feature of genuine antique slate.
Conditions
Case: Excellent cosmetic condition, with slight signs of age attesting to its originality (small natural edge nicks almost invisible).
Movement: The mechanism is complete and functional. Pendulum and winding key are included
Shipping
The clock will be packed with the utmost care, using protective materials designed for fragile and heavy objects. Tracked and insured shipping.
