French table clock of Charles X style and period. All of it is made in gilded and bluing bronze, with a sculptural concept typical of this period. It is a piece of classical aesthetics, with a volumetric base with sharp edges, decorated with vegetal elements captured in bas-relief in the form of a frieze. Above it is a round figure representing a young man dressed in a tunic offering food to a small dog. All of these elements rest on the clock case. The dial has black Roman numerals and openwork hands.
