Second Half Of The 17th Century Walnut And Gilt-bronze Clock

Refined clock featuring a case veneered in walnut, accented with lost-wax cast, gilt-bronze mounts. These bronze elements—most notably the floral garlands adorning the front and sides—impart a sense of great opulence. The feet, also crafted from gilt bronze, are modeled in the shape of small leaves. The dial, framed by a series of small cherubs, displays both arabic and roman numerals. The movement features a weekly winding mechanism and a small internal pendulum. Originally designed as a portable bedroom alarm clock, complete with a handle for transport, this piece is an object of exquisite taste and sophistication, capable of adding a touch of classic elegance and antiquity to any setting. Characteristic example of Roman craftsmanship from the second half of the 17th century.
