Bullseye clock, French School, 19th century

Descriptio Ebonized wood, marquetry, and a dial with porcelain numerals. Measures 63 x 50 x 12 cm. This wall clock features a lobed profile, known as a "bull’s-eye" clock, decorated with marquetry appliqués and small mother-of-pearl details inspired by floral and geometric motifs. The circular dial incorporates porcelain cartouches with Roman numerals and openwork hands in an elegant, historicist design. The contrast between the dark wood and the light decorative elements creates a refined visual composition with great ornamental balance. The sinuous structure and decorative treatment reflect the 19th-century bourgeois taste for parlor clocks inspired by French Napoleon III-style models. The piece combines functionality and decorative refinement, standing out for the harmony of its proportions and the richness of its handcrafted finishes. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
