Louis XV Style Clock - Napoleon III Period, 19th Century

Louis XV-style chased and gilded bronze pendulum, made during the Napoleon III period (circa 1860-1880). It features a rich rocaille decoration including volutes, foliage and shells, typical of the rococo aesthetic.

The white enameled dial with Roman numerals is framed in an asymmetrical cartouche, flanked by two finely sculpted putti symbolizing the arts and innocence. The ensemble is surmounted by a covered vase with plant decoration, bringing balance and elegance to the composition.

A piece representative of the expertise of 19th-century Parisian bronziers, a period marked by the reinterpretation of Louis XV models for bourgeois and aristocratic interiors.
