This beautiful pendulum is topped with a gallant holding a tambourine and accompanied by a basket filled with grapes at her feet. The bronze sculpture with a medal patina is distinguished from the tambourine, the basket and the grape clusters, worked on the gilded bronze.
The young woman dressed in an elegant dress wears a cross to her neck and carries on her hair a large crown alternating vines and grape clusters. Like Bacchante, we find the attributes of the god of drunkenness around it.
The black marble clock has a white enamelled dial with black Roman numerals signed "Gillion in Paris". The perimeter of this dial is decorated with garlands of pearls and rich ornaments: scrolls, leaves, pompoms and garlands of flowers.
Below, a large frieze with scrolls and medallions, overlooks a magnificent bronze base with brown patina shown in scrolls, flowers and fruits.
This richly decorated bicentennial clock will please you with its bronze ornaments and intense colors.
