Neo-gothic Style Cathedral Clock, Mid-19th Century

Pendulum called "cathedral" in gilded and patinated bronze. It represents a woman dressed in a long dress sitting under the portal of a cathedral using the neo-Gothic vocabulary of ribs, foliage, polylobed motifs and pinnacles. Four columns with capitals with plant decoration support the vault which surrounds the finely chiseled dial with a rosette. It consists of twelve cartridges indicating the hours in Roman numerals. The seated lady wearing a frontal tiara, a crown of flowers and a pearl necklace holding a cross, pensively plucks a daisy. Behind her a very beautiful pendulum repeats the neo-Gothic ornamentation. The whole rests on a stepped base, decorated with openwork festoons, raised by four feet cut with pointed arch motifs. Movement in working order called Broccot suspension. French work from the first half of the 19th century.
