Pendule à l'Etude en bronze doré et marbre blanc d'époque Louis XVI, le cadran signé Le Coeur Laîné à Paris

le cadran indiquant le calendrier hebdomadaire et mensuel, la caisse surmontée d'un coq, de branches de laurier et de livres, reposant sur un pilier cannelé tronqué terminé par un relief représentant les Arts Libéraux et flanqué de figures féminines symbolisant l'Etude ; le socle orné d'une frise de rinceaux feuillagés et putti, terminé par six pieds en boule applatie

The image is quite accurate. Good overall condition. A small element is missing in the hand of the figure on the left. Very rare tiny edge chips on the marble. A small break to the upper ornament on a branch flanking the cockerel. Dial in very good condition (calendar). Movement is complete and running but may benefit from a clean and fresh oil, old repair and added spring to bell hammer. With pendulum.
