AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant and imposing late 19th-century mantel clock crafted in the Neo-Empire style. The case is made of highly polished ebonized wood, creating a striking contrast with decorative stamped-brass mounts. The architectural silhouette is crowned by a figure of a gilded eagle with outstretched wings, while the base features classical foliate ornamentation and rests on four substantial lion-paw feet. The white enamel dial, featuring Roman numerals and an exposed escapement, is protected by a glass pane set in a brass bezel. Beneath the dial, within an open arched aperture, a finely crafted pendulum swings smoothly; it is decorated at its center with a "sunburst" motif and a mascaron.
The clock comes with its original double-ended key for winding the timekeeping and striking mechanisms. This classic, richly decorated piece will serve as a striking focal point in an interior designed in a classical or eclectic style.
