AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This luxurious table clock is a piece of luxury accent, characterized by exuberant decoration and a gold finish. The Neo-Rococo (or Louis XV) style makes it an ideal element for environments that favor classic, Baroque, or Eclectic elegance.
Style and Material Details
Sculptural Structure: The watch case is made of gold-plated bronze (or brass with gilding), a material that provides significant weight and prestige (7.5 KG). The glossy, metallic finish highlights its curves.
Design Rococo: The design is typically Rococo, dominated by scrolls, shells, rocaille, and floral garlands. The case is asymmetrical and richly pierced, with 'C' and 'S' curves rising up to an ornamental pinnacle.
Dial: The dial is circular in shape, with a white background and Roman numerals for the hours and discreet Arabic numbers for the minutes. The hands are ornate and in vintage style.
Portamento: The clock rests on a wide base with curved feet, giving it a perfect aesthetic stability for display on a shelf, a fireplace, or a console.
Recommended Uses
Fireplace or Console: Perfect as a central decorative element in a formal living room.
Studio or Library: Adds a touch of historic luxury and distinction.
Eclectic Furniture: Ideal for a luxurious contrast in a modern setting.
