Console clock Louis XV Style - Gilt bronze - 1930-1940 - Rococo Style - Louis XV

Splendid and elegant antique mantel clock (or table clock), a refined example of high French craftsmanship from the second half of the 19th century (Napoleon III era). The case, entirely made of gilded solid bronze, is richly adorned with volutes, Rococo motifs, floral elements and shells. The summit is enhanced by a fine sculpture depicting a putto (winged Cupid). The dial makes a strong visual impact, featuring enamel work on a finely engraved background; the hours are indicated in gold Roman numerals, elegantly enclosed within circular cartouches of an intense cobalt blue. Height 24 cm / width 13 cm / depth 10 cm, weighing 1.41 kg. The original mechanism was replaced in the 1950s–1960s with a contemporaneous high-quality hand-wound movement, an 8-day power reserve! The clock is in excellent cosmetic condition, fully functional! Smart shipping or in-person delivery in Turin."
