Refined gilded bronze clock, with splendid gilding. The object features classic decorations, typical of the period, with festoons and musical instruments. In the upper part, in fact, there is a guitar resting on a musician's stool on the right, while on the left there is a young man standing, intent on playing the flute. Above the dial, moreover, there is a musical score depicting on which it is written: "Air des Visitandines", a famous piece from the late 18th century, generally accompanied by the guitar. The dial is characterized by Roman numerals and has a key to set alarms. The mechanism, with wire suspension, is from the period and working, and the chime reproduces the sound of the hours and half hours. It is a clock of great taste and refinement, able to furnish any environment with elegance and class. French manufacture from the end of the 18th century.
