Vienna Enamel And Gilt Bronze Clock

Table clock with a rectangular body and resting on 4 lion paw feet. The body of the clock is decorated with 2 enamel-painted panels depicting mythological scenes. These main scenes are framed with fine grotesques, scrolls, and tritons in cloisonné enamel. On the sides, small niches framed by small columns house small sculptures in the round and enameled. A circular dial decorated with putti surmounts the whole. Its surround echoes the fine work of cloisonné and translucent enamel, thus imitating precious gems. In working order.
