Description

This French antique clock exemplifies the Baroque (Louis XV) style in its ornate, gilded bronze design. Crafted by Japy Frères, a renowned 19th-century French clockmaking firm, it displays the exuberant curves, floral motifs, and asymmetrical scrollwork characteristic of the Louis XV aesthetic. The rich gilded finish accentuates the sculpted details, while the mechanical movement—typical of Japy Frères’ high-quality workmanship—ensures a refined, traditional timekeeping experience. Often intended as a mantel clock, this piece reflects the opulence and artistic refinement associated with French decorative arts of the era, making it both a functional instrument and a statement of elegant design.
