Imposing French Empire clock in gilt bronze and burnished bronze. The grandeur of this item comes from the towering figurine of Minerva, protector of the artisans. Owl-shaped feet, in homage to her sacred animals. The extraordinary quality of the chiselled finish mingles with the symbols displayed, producing a series of stories of manifold meaning. All these elements suggest that the piece dates back to the second decade of the 19th Century. Movement working perfectly, with coeval pendulum and key.
