Description

Paris around 1820.
Gilt bronze clock representing Louis XIV.
The king of France is represented here as an allegory of the Chief of War dressed in a Roman-style cuirass, holding his commanding staff and his sword.
Enameled dial with Roman numerals inscribed in a terminal,
Surmounted by a feathered helmet and a laurel crown.
Rectangular base decorated with the figures of the king, helmets, military palms and the Order of the Holy Spirit.
Great finesse of chiseling underlined by an original gilding with mercury in the subtle contrast of mat and burnished. Work of exceptional quality.
Wire movement in good working order, with key and balance. Sounds the hours and half-hours.
In very good condition despite some chips at the key entries of the enamelled dial, slight wear.
Height 33 cm W 23 x D 10 cm
