Mahogany clock with wire suspension system, Empire period.
Its main part, carved in the shape of a Lyre, features a bronze dial with two hands with inscriptions in Roman numerals. It is richly crafted: friezes of shells and beaded around the perimeter, foliage decorations in the center.
It is topped with a bronze ornament cut in Acanthus, Volutes and Fleurettes. On either side of the instrument are integrated two fictitious pivots also cut out. The lower part of the Lyre is generously embellished with Bronzes chiseled in Crown of Roses and Rinceaux, in the heart of which we discover two heads of Lions. We can guess a pretty Butterfly Balancer through the five vertical rods representing the strings of the instrument.
It is suspended from a wire integrated in the bicentennial mechanism of this Clock.
The set rests on a rectangular plinth in veneered Mahogany, molded and decorated with a large bronze belt shaped in Foliage. This base is itself camped on four circular and flat bronze feet.
It should be noted that the dial of this pendulum is stamped by the cabinet maker "Pigneret", and that the underside of the base also has a signature. This Clock is supplied with its key which, once inserted into the holes in the Dial, will allow the mechanism to be wound.
