Clock - Wood, Bronze - 1850-1900 - Napoleon III

Elegant antique pillar clock, probably from the second half of the 19th century, made of brown-red stained wood with rich marquetry decoration in floral and geometric motifs.

It features two cylindrical columns adorned with gilded decorative elements, a white dial with Roman numerals surrounded by finely crafted gold ornamentation, as well as a matching decorative pendulum.

The mechanical movement is functional. The clock keeps time and strikes the hours as well as the half-hours.

Old condition with signs of wear. The dial bears marks and visible cracks. The top cap has many small holes and marks in the wood. The clock has been treated against wood-boring insects. Presence of signs of wear due to age; see the photos—they are part of the description.
