This is an antique table clock with a prestigious Spelter statue decoration, made in France in the 19th century. This masterpiece, with its dynamic equestrian statues impressively arranged on a solid black slate base, also has the value of a work of art that brings together the best of the craft techniques of the time.

The equestrian statue that adorns the top of the clock is a Spelter sculpture that precisely depicts the appearance of a brave warhorse. The movements of the horse's muscles and the flow of its mane are carefully sculpted to the finest detail, making it feel as if it is about to burst into life. Spelter is a type of zinc alloy, a material that was often used for carving decoration in the 19th century. Although it is lighter than bronze, it has the same profound feeling and beautiful texture, so it was valued as an interior decoration item at the time.

The base is made of high-quality black slate, and its deep jet-black surface still maintains its beautiful luster over time. Slate is a type of natural stone that is highly durable and resistant to changes in humidity and temperature, making it an ideal material for the base of watches. This black tone creates a wonderful contrast with the gold dial, giving the space a sense of luxury.

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

The base is decorated with elegant swirls, and the left and right sides are decorated with botanical motifs of acanthus leaves. These decorations testify to the outstanding technical ability of the craftsmen of the time.
