An important clock in gilt and patinated bronze and red griotte marble, depicting Psyche crowning Cupid, after the work of Claude Michallon (1751-1799), standing around a terminal enclosing the movement, resting on a rectangular base decorated with a lyre, garland and wreaths of flowers and foliage, a bow, and an oil lamp, supported by four winged claw feet (minor damage and restorations to the marble).
Gilt bronze dial indicating the hours in Roman numerals (some wear) signed "Auguste Marchand Rue de Richelieu 39" (in working order but without its pendulum).
First quarter of the 19th century.
Good condition.
The original model of this sculpture, created by the sculptor Claude Michallon under the Directory, enjoyed great success under the Empire, and the Feuchère brothers produced several clocks, including one delivered to the Tuileries Palace, mentioned in 1812. A clock of a very similar model is now located in the Diplomatic Salon of the Hôtel de la Marine (Place de la Concorde in Paris), and another is located in the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
