About the Item
Rare and beautiful gilt bronze clock with rotating dial made for the 1807 Exhibition after a composition by Claude Gallé,regarded as one of the best bronziers of the late Louis XVI and Empire periods. . Gilded and green bronze, a green marble base and two women, symbols of Liberty, hold a headband with the inscription 'L'oubi du Temps'. A woman holds a wreath in one hand and hides with a light curtain the hours that appear in the terminal window, whose upper part is surrounded by a double laurel branch.
