  • Description: Antique tower pendulum clock. This important antique piece is very old and needs restoration and servicing by a specialist. Made with a solid wood case, Roman numerals on the dial and a central decoration in cast bronze. The piece stands out for its classical line, its fine materials and the refinement of its decorative details, which make it an important furnishing element and a witness to the clockmaking art of the period.
  • Measurements: h. 235cm, l. 60cm, p. 22 cm.
  • Colour: Body in the natural colour of the wood, with bronze details
  • Make: The antique tower pendulum clock belongs to the “Vintage Memoire Merlin” collection, which can be seen at our premises
  • Use: A wonderful longcase clock that recalls simple harmonic motion, that is the regular swinging movement of the pendulum itself. It is a fine example of nineteenth-century craftsmanship, prized both for its decorative and for its collector's value. Suited to classical rooms, villas, studies and important entrance halls, it joins the usefulness of telling time with the beauty of an object that tells a story.
