Table clock, Empire period. France, early 19th century. Gilt bronze. Some lack in the figure. The pendulum and the key are missing. It needs to be overhauled (it does not work). Measurements: 40 x 27 x 10 cm. Desk clock from the Empire period, with the case and the sculptural decoration in gilded bronze. It consists of a base decorated with reliefs depicting Eros and a lion. On the clock case sits a round representation of the Greek goddess of Victory, Nike, whose graceful anatomy follows neoclassical precepts. Floral compositions and plant growths complete the decoration. The dial of the clock has Roman numerals in black on a white background, with Breguet-style hands, and is bordered on the outside by a bronze floral wreath.
