Restoration period clock, France, ca. 1820. Gilt bronze. The machinery is in need of repair. The dial does not retain the hands. It has some faults and damage. Measurements: 68 x 28 x 12 cm. Table clock made in gilded 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. In the upper part of the base, which is extensively decorated with a plant-like pattern, in the centre of which is a pavilion that reveals the figures of two figures, there is a sculptural group composed of round figures representing two winged figures dressed in togas, following models inspired by the classical period. They rest on a crescent with a dial, without hands and with Roman numerals. Both figures hold a banner with a bust portrait of a figure. These types of scenes were very common in the decoration of table clocks, often depicting mythical or religious figures, linked to a historicist sense and aesthetic.
