The Charles X period, which spanned from 1824 to 1830, was characterized by a return to ornate, decorative styles after the more subdued aesthetics of the earlier Empire period. French clockmakers during this time were renowned for their craftsmanship and created some of the most exquisite and elaborate clocks of the period.
