This is an antique table clock with a dignified spelter figure decoration, made in France in the 19th century. With a heavy black slate base and an impressively placed equestrian figure, this masterpiece also has value as a work of art that embodies the finest craftsmanship of the time.

The equestrian statue that adorns the top of the clock is a meticulously crafted spelter sculpture of a majestic war horse. The horse's muscles and the flow of its mane have been meticulously sculpted down to the smallest detail, giving it a sense of vitality, as if it were about to gallop. Spelter is a type of zinc alloy that was widely used for decorative sculptures in the 19th century. Lighter than bronze, it retains the same weight and beautiful texture, making it a popular interior decoration at the time.

The base is made of high-quality black slate, and its deep, jet-black surface retains its beautiful luster even after the passage of time. Slate is a type of natural stone that is highly durable and resistant to humidity and temperature changes, making it an ideal material for a watch base. This black base creates a stunning contrast with the gold dial, bringing a sense of refinement and luxury to the space.

The dial is made of brass and features a traditional design with black Roman numerals on an ivory background, making it both practical for telling time and decorative.

The base is decorated with elegant scrollwork and the left and right sides are decorated with acanthus leaf motifs, which demonstrate the outstanding skill of the artisans of the time.
