Description
Empire-style vase-shaped pendulum clock in fire-gilded and burnished bronze, c. 1800 A plinth resting on flattened spherical feet with inlaid, guilloché-patterned panels; above this, the vase-shaped upper section rises from a tapering column and is crowned with four pine cones and an astrolabe. The fire-gilding is in very good condition (barely any wear), as are the polished surfaces (not re-polished); the original burnishing is virtually untouched. Fully functional (refurbished), round pendulum movement with a lock-disc strike for full and half hours on a bell, anchor escapement and thread pendulum; power reserve approximately 8 days. Enamel dial with Roman numerals; minimal chips on the edge at the IX. Fire-gilded lily-shaped hands. A matching pendulum, key and bell are included. Height: 42 cm Width: 14.5 cm Depth: 11 cm
