This early 19th-century French 8-day ormolu and polished black slate portico clock is a stunning piece that will add a touch of elegance to any interior. The case is adorned with intricate details, including a twin-handled urn with flowers on top, supported by two square pedestals with finials and trailing floral mounts on oval bases. The clock is raised on an oval plinth with toupie feet, adding to its grandeur.
The enamel dial bears the signature "Codevelle" and features Roman numerals, a minute track, and matching pierced gilt hands, adding to the clock's charm. The twin-train Parisian going barrel movement includes a silk suspension and countwheel strike, which strikes the hours and half-hours on a bell, creating a melodious sound that fills the room.
Completing the ensemble is a decorative pendulum that complements the overall design of the clock, adding a touch of sophistication. This exquisite timepiece is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era and would make a valuable addition to any collection.
