Rare Empire Clock
A beautiful and rare Empire clock with a rotating circle depicting Chronos discovering time.
The globe represents 12:00 a.m., and the serpent biting its own tail—known as Ouroboros—is a very ancient symbol dating back to the 16th century BCE and the 18th Egyptian Dynasty.
The serpent 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.

The clock is in its current condition; the Sienna yellow marble base has been restored (using traditional restoration methods), and the mechanism needs to be cleaned by a clockmaker.
