Stunning and imposing antique Napoleon III / Third Republic era fireplace clock (late 19th century), depicting the classic and sought-after harvest motif (First Sheaf). The composition rests on a substantial and heavy architectured base in black marble adorned with green marble inlays.

The white enamel dial with Roman numerals is protected by a bezel in chased gilt brass with pearl-like detailing. Movement & Clockmaking: The mechanical movement is marked and engraved directly by the French clockmaker-dealer E. Pannard / Potelleret Successor.
