We offer for sale a charming table or wall clock dating back to the early 1900s. This piece reflects the aesthetic canons of the Empire Style (Neoclassical), characterized by a rigorous and elegant architecture.
Aesthetics and Case: The structure is made of solid wood, crafted in the classic "temple" or portico shape: the central body is flanked by two fluted lateral columns with turned capitals, which support the upper entablature topped with pinnacles. At the base, a small brass railing adds a refined detail. A distinctive and highly decorative element are the two large metal bells placed exposed at the bottom, beneath the dial.
The Dial: The dial, protected by a metal bezel, presents a refined stylistic contrast: despite being set in an austere case, the center is decorated with golden floral motifs (a more elegant touch typical of late 19th/early 20th century production) and blue/black Roman numerals.
Movement: Powered by a manually wound mechanical movement.
Technical Details and Condition:
· Type: Table/Hanging Clock / Temple Mantel Clock.
· Style: Empire/Neoclassical.
· Period: Antique (Early 20th Century).
· Materials: Wood, Metal, Brass.
· Dimensions: Width 32.5 cm - Depth 11.5 cm - Height 52 cm.

Patina Note: The item shows signs of aging on the wooden surface and dial (visible in the photos), which attest to its authenticity and history without compromising its charm.
Decorative Notes: Thanks to its verticality (52 cm) and columns, it has an architectural presence. It would be perfect for a classic fireplace, a study desk, or an antique console table.
Please note that any white areas in the photo shoot are due to reflections from the artificial lights used to best illuminate the item, which may cause a slight color shift in the photograph.
The item is original and is carefully photographed, capturing every detail, highlighting its quality, strengths, and any flaws.
