Description
Morez clock; France, 19th century.
Brass, gilt bronze and plate.
With hour repeater.
In need of overhaul and restoration.
Parts missing.
Measurements: 138 x 23 x 14 cm.
Wall clock made in bronze that presents a square structure, richly ornamented with vegetable elements, and with birds located in the superior zone that finishes with a form of arch of half point. The white dial has Roman numerals in black and gold-coloured openwork hands. The piece stands out for its large pendulum. This type of clock is known as Morez, the name of a village in France, as it is the place of origin of their manufacture, although it is worth noting that the production of these pieces also moved to Morbier. The production of these clocks began in the 17th century, and experienced a second splendour in the mid-19th century, when the advances of industrialisation allowed for technical improvements and greater speed in the manufacturing process. They are exceptional clocks, as the striking mechanism is located on the right side and the movement on the left.
