HENRI II STYLE PENDULUM CLOCK, 19TH CENTURY.

“Henri II” style wall clock, 19th century. The dial, in white, has Arabic numerals and is protected by glass. The clock case, made of carved wood, shows a decoration based on architectural elements (diamond points, columns, vases, etc.) and leaves a rectangular space with a dark wood decoration based on putti and plant motifs in which there is a hole to see the pendulum, which is highlighted by a decoration in gilded metal. The Henri II style (“Henri II”) was the name given to an artistic style that emerged in France in the 19th century and was inspired by the Renaissance of this country, creating a series of furniture with the type of decoration that we see in this work. It was so successful that it was revived in the Neo-Renaissance style, which lasted well into the 20th century.
