AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Table clock (or mantel clock) typical of French craftsmanship in the 19th century, Louis-Philippe period. It is made of bronze finely chased and gilded. The sheen suggests mercury gilding. The figure at the top depicts a young musician. This bucolic and artistic theme was very popular at the time. The dial is white enamel; there are a few scratches and a bit of aging. Suitable for furnishing homes in various styles. Due to the long elapsed time, it is not possible to guarantee the proper functioning of the internal mechanisms.
