- Porcelain Clock in the Louis XV Style by Jacob PetitBy Jacob PetitLocated in London, GBThis antique porcelain mantel clock demonstrates the 19th century nostalgia for the delicately elegant decorative arts under King Louis XV, also known as the Rococo style.

The white enamelled dial is bordered with beaded ormolu, and features black Roman numerals and the inscription 'Scherer'- the name of the 19th century Parisian clock...Category
