Clock Restoration Gilt Bronze Giraffes Zarafa Palmettes Charles X Nineteenth

Pendulum in the shape of a Medici vase in finely chiseled gilded bronze, handles formed by two giraffes chiseled with palmettes, enamelled dial with Roman numerals surmounted by a frieze of vines, base decorated with laurel wreaths and palmettes, made around 1926-1927 date of the arrival of the Zarafa* giraffe offered to Charles X by Egypt, from the 19th century Restoration period.
This clock is in good condition and is of exceptional quality. The wire movement has been overhauled, it works perfectly, we have the key and the pendulum.
A note: tiny dirt and small scratches on the bronze, tiny chips on the enamel of the dial (around 45) and scratches, wear of time, look at the photos.
* Zarafa:
The giraffe offered to Charles X by Mehemet Ali (called a posteriori Zarafa) is the first giraffe to have entered France, where it lived for 18 years, from 1827 to 1845, in the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. This diplomatic gift from Mehemet Ali, viceroy in Ottoman Egypt, to Charles X, king of France, was part of a group of three giraffes sent to European sovereigns (the Emperor of Austria, Francis I, the British sovereign, George IV, and the king of France, Charles X). We had not seen a giraffe on the European continent since the Medici giraffe, offered to Lorenzo de Medici in Florence in 1486. It is the source of many illustrations and objects with a decoration called "giraffe" or "girafomania " (engravings, tableware, tapestries and wallpaper, "giraffe" hairstyle, jewelry, etc.)
