Ormolu Frame Clock, Imbert a Paris. circa 1795.

A very nice quality Directoire ormolu frame clock by Imbert, a Paris. The case has matching front and rear frames and is surmounted by an eagle. The whole sits upon a white marble base with toupie feet. The finely lettered white porcelain dial, complemented by nicely pierced and engraved hands, has black numbers, a red calender chapter ring and is signed by the famous dial enameler Coteau. The eight-day two-train movement strikes on a bell, and has a 31-day calender and a silk-thread suspension with the fast/slow adjustment out the front. It is a fine example of the Directoire period.
