French mantel clock

To restore and bring this 1825 piece back into working condition is to revive a masterpiece by Louis-Jacques Cailly, a distinguished French horologist. The clock presents an artistic representation of time, with a figure extending its arm to symbolise the triumph of time, reminiscent of goddesses like Nike. This work hails from the French town of Saint-Nicolas d'Aliermont and embodies the exceptional craftsmanship of the era.
