Refined clock from the Directory period, made in France at the end of the 18th century, an emblematic example of the neoclassical taste that anticipates the Empire style.
The composition is set on a base of fine yellow Siena marble, with warm veining, which lends solidity and elegance to the ensemble. The scene is animated by two figures finely sculpted in gilt bronze and burnished bronze, characterized by accurate modeling and extraordinary plasticity. The allegorical group, rich in movement and meaning, frames the dial, creating a refined balance between sculpture and function.
The enameled porcelain dial with Roman numerals is signed "Le Roy", a prestigious name in French watchmaking of the time, synonymous with technical excellence and precision. The movement is pendulum-driven, typical of late 18th-century production, further testament to the authenticity and quality of the work.
The mercury gilding, bright and deep, enhances every decorative detail, while the contrasts with the burnished bronze add depth and visual refinement. A piece of great historical and artistic value, ideal for collectors and for high-level representative environments.
