Description
A French mahogany ormolu mounted portico mantel clock with oscillating movement, Empire ca. 1820-30.

Very elegant mahogany veneered mantel clock with exclusive movement: the clock mechanism is also a pendulum. The movement is fitted in the bob of the pendulum and moves when the clock is running. This oscillating movement is an attractive feature. The mantel clock has slender conical mahogany columns decorated with ormolu-plated ornaments of an exceptional - rich - quality. The clock has a silver-plated dial with Roman numerals. The Breguet hands are made of blued steel. The 8-day movement with a pinwheel escapement is powered by two spring barrels. The clock has a countwheel striking mechanism, striking hours and half hour on a bell. The architectural case is based on the classicist triumphal arch, the dimensions are HxWxD 57x31x18 cm.
