An antique Empire copper clock from Paris, France, dating to circa 1750–1800, with an enamel white dial featuring black Roman numerals for the hours and an outer ring with Arabic numerals every five minutes, two elaborately gilded openwork hands and a simpler dark hand, a mechanical eight-day movement, and in good condition with signs of age but currently not in working order and in need of servicing.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Enamelled white with black Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals along the outer edge for the minutes (indicated every five minutes: 5, 10, 15, etc.).

Two elegantly worked, gilded hands with an openwork pattern, typical of this style period. There is also a simpler, dark hand visible, probably for the seconds or a date function.

The inscription "à Paris" points to manufacture in Paris, at the time a major center for the production of luxury timepieces.

The timepiece is in good condition but needs to be checked.
