Resting on a finely cast gilt bronze base with four paw feet, this piece reflects the artistry and precision of early 19th-century French horology. Ideal for collectors of Empire decorative arts, this clock combines timeless form, exquisite materials, and historical sophistication in a compact, statement-making design.
