About the Item

This impressive round antique French clock face dates to the Napoleon III period, circa 1890, and is a rare surviving example of 19th-century French craftsmanship. Beautifully hand-crafted in painted wood and retaining its original metal clock elements, the piece features a richly dimensional surface with detailed carvings and architectural presence. Its scale and patina give it the look of a sculptural wall object as much as a functional timepiece. The painted surface, softened over time, shows minor fading, scratches, and wear consistent with age and use, which only enhances its historic authenticity. Large carved numerals and the subtly distressed finish reveal the artistry of the French maker, making it a decorative piece with both visual drama and historic charm. This rare clock face would have originally adorned a significant interior during the late 19th century in France, when the Napoleon III style celebrated ornate detail, craftsmanship, and bold decorative elements. Today, it is perfectly suited for use as architectural wall décor, a statement art piece, or as part of a curated collection of French antiques.
