Empire table clock. France, early 19th century. Patinated and gilded bronze. In need of restoration. No pendulum. It shows wear and tear. Measurements: 45 x 31 x 13 cm. Table clock made in gilded and patinated bronze at the beginning of the 19th century. The piece has been conceived through a sculptural concept characteristic of this period. It consists of a base with sharp edges, reflecting the taste for clean volumes characteristic of the aesthetics of the period. On the upper part of the base, which is decorated extensively with a vegetal pattern with a central cup, stands a lady wearing a toga in the classical manner, pouring a pitcher over the clock case. The latter houses the white dial and Roman numerals. Scenes of this type were very common in the decoration of table clocks, often depicting mythical or religious figures, linked to a historicist sense and aesthetic.
