19th CENTURY FRENCH TRAVEL CLOCK – GILT BRONZE – ORIGINAL BOX – KEY-WINDING
An object of pure 19th-century elegance, this rare French gilt-bronze travel clock, preserved in its original box, is a symbol of portable luxury and 19th-century bourgeois refinement.
Its presence in carriages and living rooms testified to prestige and attention to time, with a charm that today translates into a collector's rarity, considering that it works with a fascinating ticking that marks the seconds with elegant grace and decisiveness.
