Description
CLOCK WITH TURNING CIRCLES, THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE OVER TIME, LATE 19th CENTURY
Gilt bronze and white marble; a starry sphere in a cloud houses the movement with white enamel dials with Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals for the minutes; in the foreground, to the sinister, naked Chronos brandishing his scythe, to the dexter, Eros with his arrows, Hymen holding a torch and the hourglass of time. The group rests on a rectangular base adorned with a frieze of cherubs symbolising an allegory of travel and masks of children in high relief, with a counter base moulded with rais-de-cœurs supported by barrel feet.
(A few accidents and scratches, wear to the gilding)
