"Œil-de-Bœuf" Wall Clock (Ossenoog) Napoleon III Wood

Beautiful French Napoleon III "Œil-de-Bœuf" Wall Clock (Ossenoog) - Mid-to-Late 19th Century Description An elegant and quintessential example of French horology from the Napoleon III period (ca. 1850–1880). This wall clock—commonly known as an "Œil-de-Bœuf" (Bull's Eye) in French or "Ossenoog" in Dutch—features a striking, contoured wavy frame characteristic of the era. The case is beautifully decorated with intricate, symmetrical mother-of-pearl (pearly shell) and brass foliate/floral inlays that contrast magnificently against the darkened wood tones. The clock faces a white porcelain/enamel dial adorned with classic black Roman numerals, completed by pierced ornamental hands and a polished brass bezel ring. The reverse features a classic ebonized wooden box extension housing the mechanical movement. An absolute eye-catcher for any antique or classic European interior design. Condition Report Aesthetics: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. The wood, ebonized finish, and delicate mother-of-pearl inlay elements show normal vintage patina and minor aging typical for a 19th-century item. [ Mechanism: The clock features a traditional 8-day mechanical movement with a round gong strike. The brass pendulum is included. Please note: The movement is currently untested and needs to be checked and serviced by a professional clockmaster/horologist to ensure proper ongoing operation.
