Empire-style Clock With A Gilded Bronze Obelisk And Green Marble
A portico clock made of veined sea-green marble with chiseled and gilded bronze fittings. The structure rests on a stepped rectangular base, supported by eight gilded bronze spindle-shaped feet.
The upper section is crowned by a central obelisk adorned with a ribbon-wrapped torch and topped with a sphere of blue hardstone (lapis lazuli style).
The two side posts form pilasters adorned with flaming torches and a balustrade with gilded chains at the base.
Above the dial sits an eagle with outstretched wings resting on a motif of laurel leaves.
The visible balance wheel takes the form of a radiant sun mask (Apollo motif).
White enamel dial displaying the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes in Arabic numerals.
The center of the dial is made of gilded bronze, finely guilloché with a radiating pattern.
Cut-out hands and two winding holes.
Excellent condition; a small, barely visible chip in the enamel on the back.
