AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Art Nouveau style mantel clock made in die-cast brass with rich vegetal and floral decoration. This piece features architecture very characteristic of French productions of the early 20th century, with its pierced decor evoking branches and stylized foliage surmounting the dial.
The front is abundantly adorned with floral motifs, garlands and decorative medallions representing plant symbols. The enamel dial offers a double reading of the time with Roman numerals and an additional 13 to 24 hours scale.
Two auxiliary dials are present:
- 24-hour indicator at 12 o'clock;
- small seconds at 6 o'clock.
The mechanical movement includes an alarm function. The inscriptions visible on the back indicate:
"Hour hands"
"Alarm hand"
"Movement"
