Pendulum clock Empire Style Wood, Bronze - 1880-1920

Small Parisian “Empire” style mantel clock from the 1800s, in painted wood with decorations such as columns, friezes, and floral or geometric details in bronze or brass and an enamel dial with Roman numerals and a gilded bezel. French mechanical movement with brass plate. With winding key. Signs of exterior wear due to age as in the photo. I can’t say if it works because I’m not an expert. No pieces are missing. Manually moving the hands causes the pendulum at the back to swing and strike the gong, but I can’t say whether it’s on time or something else. Table clocks were symbols of status and refinement often found in the parlors and libraries of well-off families.
