Napoleon III Period Notary's Clock in Black and Red Marble – 19th Century
An elegant Napoleon III style mantel clock, featuring a beautiful monumental design in black and veined red marble, characteristic of clocks produced in the second half of the 19th century.
Its design comprises a circular dial surmounting a columned and pilastered case with lateral scrolls, moldings, and decorative elements in red marble.
The white enameled annular dial features black Roman numerals, surrounded by a finely decorated gilt brass bezel.
The central section reveals the movement's components, while two openings allow for winding the mechanism.
The lower section, largely openworked, reveals the gilt-decorated pendulum, adding a touch of elegance to the whole.
This clock is distinguished by its architectural proportions, the contrast of its marbles, and the restraint of its decoration.
