Here is a charming Empire-style table clock featuring two winged sphinxes flanking a central dial. This decorative piece is eye-catching with its classic silhouette and majestic appearance, typical of art objects inspired by ancient Egypt. Made of metal with a gilt finish, this clock rests on a molded oval base. The octagonal dial features black Arabic numerals on a copper background adorned with a central relief motif. The mechanism is visible on the back, revealing the internal brass gears. The overall condition is good, with a patina that testifies to its age and adds to its authentic character. The gilt finish shows some natural variations in tone. It needs winding every 24 hours and keeps perfect time; finding a new cover for the back dial would protect it from dust. This clock would be perfectly at home on a mantelpiece, console table, or classic desk. It fits perfectly into an Empire or eclectic style interior, bringing a touch of historical elegance to the room.
