Clock Empire Copper - 1800-1850

The selected region shows the dial of an antique French pendulum clock (mantel clock) from the French Empire period (early 19th century, circa 1800–1820).
Key features
The dial: Made of white enamel with elegant black Roman numerals for the hour markers.
The signature: At the bottom is the handwritten inscription "Coeur-lièvre à Paris". This refers to the specific clockmaker (horloger) who was active in Paris at the time.
The rim: The dial is bordered by a fire-gilt bronze or brass rim (ormolu) with a detailed, finely worked guilloche- or palmette-pattern that is highly characteristic of the Empire style.
Winding holes: There are two holes in the dial to wind the movement and the striking mechanism independently with a clock key.

The clock needs to be serviced.
