Exceptional portal clock in fire-gilded bronze, Charles X, c. 1825 Architecturally structured case in the form of a portal supported by four columns, made of fire-gilded bronze, with applied floral decoration on the front. The fire-gilding is in good condition for its age; only the polished areas show some wear.

Florally decorated, fire-gilded ceremonial pendulum. Original guilloché bronze dial with inlaid enamel cartouches (the ‘IIII’ has a small chip). Blued steel Breguet hands. Height: 42 cm Width: 21 cm Depth: 12 cm
