Impressive French Comtoise wall clock, circa 1850, with an exceptionally richly ornamented brass front and a large, three-dimensional pendulum plate. The white enamel dial with Roman numerals and the finely crafted hands bear the signature H. Piquant, indicating high-quality workshop production of the period. The pendulum is a true eye-catcher: solid, artfully designed, and adorned with detailed fruit and flower decorations – a typical motif of the rural Baroque Comtoise aesthetic. The clock features a strong hour strike on a bell, and the movement is in working order with a clean, precise mechanism. The open movement photos show the classic, robust construction with original gears and spindles. with its imposing height and shimmering gold brass ornamentation, this clock is perfectly suited for entryways, living rooms, country-style interiors, or collections, where it instantly creates a warm, historic atmosphere. The use of durable materials such as iron, brass, and enamel makes this clock particularly long-lasting, and Comtoise clocks of this design have stable appreciation potential among collectors and enthusiasts of French horology. This is a truly dream piece that you should treat yourself to while it's still available! See less
