Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Louis XVI clock in blue Turquin marble and finely chiseled and gilded bronzes.

Triangular in shape, the molded base rests on spinning top feet and is beautifully decorated with bronzes featuring scrapers, garlands, scrolls, and foliage and flower falls. In the center, there is a bas-relief frieze of Cupids hunting wild boars.

The enameled dial echoes this floral decoration.

At the end of the clock, a figure of Venus holds a dove in her hand, which a winged Cupid is trying to steal from her.

The period movement, with a wire, strikes the hours and half-hours.

Louis XVI period work from the last quarter of the 18th century.

Revised, in perfect working order.

A similar model is reproduced on page 246 of "The Encyclopedia of French Clocks from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century," by Pierre Kjellberg.

Width: 31 cm.
Depth: 12 cm.
Height: 37.5 cm.
