"Rare Charles X Period Curiosity Object Bishop's Audience Timer In Bronze And Amethysts"

This rare and precious audience timer in gilded bronze finely chiseled with rosettes, cartouches and a beautiful fine guilloche framing the frieze of palmettes on the circumference. The arrow-shaped hands in gilded bronze indicate the time allotted for an Audience with Mr. Bishop and the inlays of the hours with beautiful cut amethysts faceted with a beautiful purple (color of the Bishops). Weighted with lead, this precious dial serves as a paperweight and is very decorative due to its preciousness, its originality, and its rarity; a real object of unusual curiosity and above all not very courteous for a conversation or an interview
