Cathedral clock in gilded and patinated bronze. It depicts a woman in a long dress seated beneath a cathedral portal, using the neo-Gothic vocabulary of ogives, foliage, poly-lobed motifs and pinnacles. Four columns with plant-decorated capitals support the vaulted ceiling, which encloses a finely chiselled dial in a rose window. It features twelve cartouches indicating the hours in Roman numerals. The seated lady, wearing a frontal tiara, a crown of flowers and a pearl necklace holding a cross, pensively leaves a daisy. Behind her, a beautiful pendulum repeats the neo-Gothic ornamentation. The whole rests on a stepped base, decorated with openwork festoons, raised by four feet carved with pointed arch motifs. Broccot suspension movement in working order.
French work from the first half of the 19th century.
