    An imposing gilt-bronze mercury-regulator clock dating from 1830, corresponding to the transitional period between the reigns of Kings Charles X and Louis Philippe.
    The romantic theme of this clock is typical of the era; it depicts Paul, melancholic and distraught over Virginie’s departure for the metropolis, based on the pastoral and tragic novel written by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, published in 1788.
    Paul is depicted here in a lush, tropical setting—much like the environment where he was raised alongside his beloved Virginie, whom he will never see again.
    This clock comes from an estate; it is being sold “as-is.” The springs are in good condition, the wire suspension has been replaced with a suspension strip, the balance wheel is present, and the movement needs to be cleaned and serviced.
