A magnificent period clock, a true masterpiece from the mid-19th century, blending artistic finesse and exceptional craftsmanship. Its gilded bronze dial, adorned with cornucopias, reflects the classical elegance of the era. On either side of the frame, you will be captivated by black-patinated bronze sculptures of a man and a woman, inspired by Michelangelo's famous works from the tomb of Giuliano de' Medici. These figures, both powerful and graceful, add a unique historical and artistic dimension to this piece.

At the center, a sumptuous vase in veined green marble with white streaks, adorned with gilded bronze elements, dominates the composition with its perfectly sculpted lid. The base, also in veined green marble, is elegantly decorated with a bronze scene depicting children studying, framed by delicate arabesques.

This clock rests on five bronze feet, adding both stability and grandeur to this exceptional piece. As a central element in any sophisticated interior, this clock embodies the harmony between classical art and the mastery of noble materials. An essential piece for lovers of antiques and decorative arts.
