Rare 18th Century Clock - War Theme In Honor Of Louis XV

Rare small 18th century clock, Louis XVI period. It is in gilded bronze, on the theme of the war in honor of Louis XV with the figure of a warrior holding his portrait in one hand and his sword in the other.

From 1744 to 1747 Louis XV, on the war front of the Austrian succession war, was truly a “warlord” since he nominally led the royal army.

Period: XVIIIth
Dimensions: Height: 24 cm x Width: 21 cm depth: 10 cm

We have a very beautiful representation of a stylized landscape of a battle, cannon, barrel, ball, club, standard. Its dial is domed in white enamel and its very fine hands are gilded and openwork.

Its base is curved in wood covered with a lacquer and a colorless gloss varnish for optimal protection.

It is enhanced by very beautiful friezes chiseled with plants.

Its Mechanism is original without modification, suspension with silk thread.

It is a rare and interesting model for its decoration, its authenticity and in a remarkable state of conservation.

Completely revised and reconditioned by a watchmaker specializing in old pendulum.

Wonderful homage to the "Beloved"
