Rare Empire Clock
A beautiful and rare Empire-style clock with a rotating circle depicting Chronos discovering time.

The snake biting its own tail naturally comes to symbolize the cycle of time and eternity.
The movement and mechanism are of the highest quality and complexity.
This clock weighs 50 kg !
The clock is in its current condition ; the Sienna-yellow marble base has been restored ( ancient restoration ), the mechanism requires cleaning by a clockmaker (comes from an antique dealer’s collection).
