"Beautiful Clock With Putti And Lion In Mercury-gilded Bronze, Enamelled Dial, Charles X Wheel"
Charming Charles X clock; with Putti and Smiling Lion, terminal with Royal Emblems, dial in a circular enamelled bench, base with ornamented feet and apron, in bronze with original mercury gilding. This clock with its beautiful mechanism and movement that works well, wire suspension (which dates it) is atypical and very original. It establishes the power of the Ancien Régime in a sort of elegant humor. Well crafted, including its pretty crafted feet, this clock is a little gem in its singularity and the quality of its retouching and gilding, a piece with strong decorative power of great quality. A beautiful decorative element to decorate your living room with panache in a classic taste of refinement; a very beautiful piece of which I know of no equivalent.. Notice; soft and calculated price for this piece around 1820... Coming from Spain
