Bronze vintage-style table clock from France, estimated to be 1930–1940, mechanical movement with a 1‑day power reserve, winding key included, dimensions 18 × 18 × 8 cm, weight 1130 g, in good used condition and not functioning.
Description from the seller
Table clock with a portico, not functioning.
Characteristic columnar structure that supports the body of the clock and that features, at the top, a figure of a rooster. The design is linked to the Empire style or Napoleon III, drawing on classical architectural forms such as temples and Doric columns. It is made of patinated metal (bronze or spelter) or brass, with a round dial featuring Roman numerals (without glass). It has a small pendulum that hangs below the central case, typical of mechanical movements from the late 19th century or the early 20th century.
Similar pieces have been identified as productions from the early 20th century (circa 1900–1920). Probably a French manufacture, given the inscriptions "Sonnerie" and "Mouvement" impressed on the back of the case near the winding keys. The producer’s symbol, also incised on the back of the case, consists of an upward-pointing "Arrow" placed between the letters E and D (the latter not entirely clear); it can be found on the Internet but has not been attributed.
