HENRI II STYLE PENDULUM CLOCK, 19TH CENTURY.

“Henri II” style wall clock, 19th century. The white dial features Arabic numerals and is protected by glass. The clock case, made of carved wood, displays a decoration based on architectural elements (diamond points, columns, vases, etc.) and leaves a rectangular space decorated in dark wood with putti and vegetal motifs. This space contains a recess to reveal the pendulum, which is highlighted by a gilded metal ornament. The Henry II style was the name given to an artistic style that emerged in 19th-century France, inspired by the French Renaissance. It produced a series of furniture pieces with the type of decoration seen in this work. It was so successful that it was revived in the Neo-Renaissance style, which lasted well into the 20th century.
