Bronze Clock by G.Philippe for Palais Royal, 1870s

This gilded bronze clock features a delicately chiseled bronze dial decorated with enamel Roman numerals at the hours and graduated Arabic numerals at the minutes.
The movement is signed on its plate by the watchmaker “G.Philippe at 66 and 67 Palais Royal” appearing in the Tardy, a veritable bible of the profession.
This meticulously crafted piece is crowned with a cup containing the eternal flame.
The sides feature lion’s muzzle carrying rings.
The movement cylinder is supported by acanthus leaf consoles.
The whole rests on a stepped base of rectangular section.
This bronze clock is the echo of the know-how and mastery of 19th century craftsmanship in terms of clocks, pendulums and watches.
