AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this piece a sumptuous and elegant mantel clock (or table clock) in full Baroque/Rococo style, made in the mid-20th century. The object stands out for the extraordinary richness of details and for the majestic upper sculpture in fusion alloy, finely finished. Main Features and Design:
Upper Sculpture: At the top of the case sits a detailed three-dimensional figure depicting a knight (or hunter/archer) in Renaissance historical attire, captured in the act of riding a moving steed on rocky ground decorated with floral motifs.
Case of the Clock: Entirely made in gilded bronze (or heavy brass), rich in openwork, foliate scrolls, architectural elements, and curved spurred feet typical of the Louis XV / Rococo taste. In the center, beneath the dial, stands a large heraldic coat of arms decorated with grape clusters.
Dial: Splendid circular dial with individual ceramic/white enamel cartouches on which black Roman numerals are printed, for perfect legibility. The blued drop-shaped hands emphasize the object's classic style.
Mechanism: Clock with mechanical movement, equipped with two winding holes on the dial (for time and strike). It comes complete with its winding key. All functioning; the strike operates regularly.
