CA1048 Early 19th Century Clock with Bust of Sylla (Napoleon)

Early 19th Century classical French patinated and Sienna marble clock. Surmounted by a bust of Sylla (Sulla) Rome’s first Dictator. This is a fascinating, subtly political, pro Royalist clock as the bust is quite obviously Napoleon, it does not match any known images of Sulla. Superb gilt bronze and polished silver face. Circa 1815. Eight day Movement.
