Description from the seller
Elegant Brass Baroque Table Clock in Gold Finish (H 44 cm) - Hermle mechanism (FH) - Working
Splendid table clock (or fireplace clock) in full Baroque/Rococo style with a brilliant gold finish, richly decorated with foliate scrolls, openwork, and raised floral motifs. The structure, with impressive stage presence thanks to its 44 cm height, is topped by a refined chalice-shaped pinnacle and rests on a solid domed base, supported by finely worked scroll feet.
The real centerpiece of this piece is the exclusive dial, protected by a domed glass: it features a rich floral decoration executed entirely by hand with polychrome enamels. The hours are clearly indicated by black Roman numerals, individually applied on white enamel domed cartouches.
Inside beats a prestigious German mechanical heart branded FH (Franz Hermle & Sohn), synonymous with the utmost reliability and precision in table clockmaking.
The clock is completely functioning, keeps good time and is complete with its original winding key.
A piece of furniture with substantial visual impact and elegance, perfect for enhancing living rooms, fireplaces, or consoles in style.
