Description from the seller
Intarsia wooden table clock with gilt bronze mounts, Louis XV style
This table clock represents the Louis XV style, characterized by curves, rocaille decorations, and the use of gilt bronzes applied to cases in precious wood. These clocks were symbols of prestige in bourgeois and aristocratic homes between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the neo Rococo style enjoyed wide diffusion in Europe. The clock features a wooden case with inlay and mounts in gilt bronze, with a porcelain enamel dial and Roman numerals, typical of French and German production of the period. These mantle clocks are highly appreciated by antique clock collectors and by lovers of period furniture for their decorative and historical value. They represent an interesting investment in the antique market, particularly sought after by interior designers and enthusiasts of the Louis XV style for their ability to embellish classic and elegant environments.
Operation to be tested; the gong is missing.
