Antique Louis XVI clocks & Directory clocks from France
Our collection of Louis XVI clocks and Directory clocks showcases the refined elegance of late 18th-century French design, at the transition point to the 19th-century.

Sourced from trusted collections, each clock offers timeless beauty and historical significance for collectors and both classic and modern interiors.
From Neoclassicism to Revolutionary Restraint
The Directoire period represents a stylistic shift from the symmetry and ornamentation of Louis XVI towards the stricter forms and symbolic restraint of the Empire style.
