-Origin: France / Western Europe. (Case: French and Mechanism: Likely French and German)
-Style: Rococo / Neo-Rococo (a historicist revival inspired by the era of Louis XV).
-Period: Late 20th century (circa 1960–1980).
-Material: Solid cast bronze structure with a base of fine natural stone (premium-quality, highly translucent, fire-toned polished onyx).
-Technique: Lost-wax bronze casting, artisanal hand-chasing of surface details, decorative openwork, and assembly using period-appropriate hardware. Features a white enameled dial with Roman numerals.
-Ornamentation:
*Lower Front: A prominent central openwork relief depicting two cherubs (putti) flanking a geometric motif/sphere, framed by asymmetrical scrolls.
*Central Body: Architecturally-inspired sides, richly decorated with floral tracery and acanthus leaves, allowing a view into the interior of the piece.
*Upper Finial: A gadrooned crest topped by an elegant, pointed, turned-metal spire, positioned just above a delicate *mascaron* (ornamental mask) featuring a sculpted female face. *Reverse: Back door decorated with a magnificent rosette featuring a radiant geometric design (sunburst style).
-Dimensions: 40 cm (maximum total height) x 22 cm (width of the base) x 12–14.7 cm (depth of the base).
• Detailed Dimensions:
*Height of the clock (excluding base): 36.5 cm
*Thickness of the onyx base: 3.5 cm
*Inner dial: 8 cm
• Width of the clock body: 17.5 cm at the bottom feet / 9.6 cm in depth (at the feet area).
-Condition and Functionality
*Movement: The mechanical movement is in working order.
*Striking System: Features a classic striking mechanism using bronze bells. It strikes once on the half-hour and chimes the full number of times corresponding to the hour (e.g., at 5 o'clock, it will strike exactly 5 times).
*Accuracy: The clock runs continuously. Given its antique nature, it exhibits a slight, typical deviation (tending to gain a few minutes every 24 hours)—a common characteristic of mechanical timepieces.
*Aesthetic Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The bronze retains a fabulous antique patina, with subtle, natural darkening that enhances the depth of the relief details. The onyx base is secure, showing some damage and signs of wear consistent with its age, as shown in the photographs.
