Eugène Farcot - Skeleton Clock With Putti On Its Swing - 19th Century

Superb skeleton clock from the end of the 19th century, signed and patented by the famous watchmaker Eugène Farcot. This rare piece features an apparent movement, displayed under a glass dome that highlights its ingenious mechanism.
The pendulum is decorated with a cherub (putti) sitting on a swing. With each oscillation of the pendulum, the cherub simulates a swinging movement, bringing a touch of charm and dynamism to this unique clock.
The whole thing rests on a wooden base, in very good general condition. The mechanism works perfectly, proof of the exceptional quality of Eugène Farcot's work.
It is important to note a crack in the glass dome, which affects neither the operation nor the beauty of the clock.
This clock, both functional and decorative, constitutes a rare collector's item, ideal for lovers of old watchmaking.
