This French clock Vincenti and Co., Silver Medal 1855, is a fine example of a Gothic clock. Note its rounded roof ending in a point, characteristic of the Gothic style’s origin in the Middle Ages. Note the resemblance to the vaults of the abbeys of the time. Here, brass inlays have been added to the walnut case. The round movement, typically French, includes the company punch and serial numbers and the inscription Made in France. This clock is an example of this style, even though it was made long after its period.
