Pendule de cheminée en émail de style Louis XVI

Description

A Fine Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze and Green Enamel Mantel Clock.

This fine clock or timepiece has a spring-driven eight-day twin train movement by Vicenti et Cie, striking on a gong.

The gilt-bronze case is of square-section with a stepped pediment surmounted by musical trophies above a Vitruvian scroll frieze and rosettes to each corner, below is a circular enamel dial with Arabic numerals and floral swags, set within a finely painted iridescent green enamel panel depicting a courting couple in conversation. The sides are similarly painted with fair maidens in a wooded landscape and the back cast with strap-work and Vitruvian scrolls; a circular hinged door opening to reveal the movement.
