French Gilt Bronze Empire Clock depicting a Ionic Column. silk thread movement with original pendulum. Rare model, I've only seen 2 of the column style. 12 inches tall, 7 inches wide. retaining its original fire gilt finish. Dial signed H. Laresche Palais Royal. small chip below right arbor. Most likely had a bronze bust on the top as you can see four secure points, typically Athena, Homer, Philosopher, ect. Clock is running but movement should be cleaned. .
