AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Prestigious clock with portico (or temple) design, antique, attributable to the Biedermeier or Viennese Empire style, generally datable to the first half of the 19th century (1820-1830).
A precious object that reflects all the characteristics of the 19th-century style: the case is made of ebonized wood (black) enriched with gold-plated wood appliqués.
The structure is then supported by splendid columns made of white alabaster that create a strong chromatic contrast with the dark base. The base is decorated with floral motifs and rests on onion-shaped feet, while the space between the columns is often mirrored to create a depth effect.
The clock is then topped by a superb gilded imperial eagle typical of the Austrian Biedermeier style. The dial is German in origin with a manually wound alarm/wake mechanism.
The object, despite almost two centuries of life, is in excellent condition (only signs of time on the mirror). It has a strong regal impact, ideal for an elegant drawing room and for lovers of the imperial genre.
