No. 569 CUM
9-inch Comtoise clock with verge escapement and folded pendulum from around 1845, two-part embossed decorative front plate with Rococo style elements such as rocailles and a shell ornament at the top apex. The new star hand, which emerged in the context of the enthusiasm for Napoleon (the mortal remains of Napoleon I were transferred to Paris in 1840), is already fitted here and thus replaces the previously dominant sun hand. A typical Empire hand harmonizes here with the Rococo style elements of the Louis XV period.
Hour striking on bell with repetition of the hour strike. Striking mechanism released by weight drive. Enamel dial signed: Cinna Guimard à Angoulême.
Dial diameter: 220
Frame dimensions: 247 × 249 × 143 H × W × D
