Movement with circular plates. Spring driven with anchor escapement and free rear pendulum as regulator. Striking work with counting plate. Strikes full hours and half hours on a bell. This clock was made in a combination of patinated and gilt bronze, a technique in which Parisian bronze artists of the end of the 18th and early 19th century achieved outstanding results. A balanced, carefully considered composition, the forming of the individual works, particularly the figure and the relief, the technical production and the finish of the details suggest a high quality workshop. It is interesting that the elements of the decoration were taken from the Gothic repertoire, while the composition and form draw to a great extent on the Neoclassical tradition. The actual disposition of the elements – the base, figure, prismatic housing by it – carries on the tradition of the Neoclassicist-Empire French clocks of gilt and patinated bronze. It belongs to the type of figural clocks, which in the time of Romanticism took as their theme the depiction of historical figures and heroes of literature.
