This is a fascinating lyre-shaped table clock of Parisian origin. Its pendulum is refined and shaped like a beautiful butterfly. The clock is made of ebonized wood, enriched by lost-wax cast bronze applications, finely chiseled and mercury gilded. The silk thread suspension adds a touch of elegance, while the weekly winding ensures its autonomous operation. The clock strikes hours and half hours. This creation represents a typical example of French manufacture from the late 18th century.
