Pendulum In The Model Of The Bronzier Jean-joseph De Saint Germain

Pendulum in gilded and chiseled bronze embellished with acanthus leaves, stylized foliage, shells framing a palmette. The whole rests on volutes embellished with leaves. The upper part overlooking the movement is highlighted by foliage composed of foliage and a bouquet of fruit. The sides are also embellished with large stylized palmettes. The movement is signed "Masson". The white enamel dial is made up of Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals for the minutes. The openwork hands are in gilded and chiseled bronze, one forming stylized arabesques indicates the minutes, and for the small hand, it forms a fleur-de-lys indicating the hours.
