Love and Friendship, Louis XVI period clock

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 receives a beautiful bronze ornamentation decorated with scrapers, garlands, scrolls and falling foliage and flowers and in the center, a bas-relief frieze of cupids hunting the wild boar.

The enameled dial repeats this floral decoration. At the damping, a figure of Venus holds in her hand a dove that a winged cupid tries to steal from her.

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

Work of the Louis XVI period 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 the French Pendulum Clock from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century", by Pierre Kjellberg.

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