AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent desk clock composed of a central clock and a pair of matching candelabras, in bronze-gold metal, on a marble base
The set features an elaborate decorative scene with an equestrian display, where the figure of a horseman on horseback stands out at the top of the clock; the matching candelabras incorporate figures that provide balance
Good overall condition with signs of use and aging, clock operation not verified, no visible breaks in the overall structure
Carefully packaged to ensure safe shipping
the basic system is visible working: wind with the key → the spring inside the barrel tightens → that spring slowly releases energy → moves the gears → makes the hands advance.
In the frontal image, the key is placed on the clock’s axis. That indicates it is a mechanical wind-up clock (not battery powered).
That key is turned to wind the mechanism, that is, to “load” the clock.
In the interior images you can see a round metal piece (the barrel of the spring).
Inside that barrel is the main spring, which stores energy when you wind it.
The rod or shaft protruding is the one that connects with the front key.
