Description
A chiseled and gilded bronze clock featuring a chariot of love, with an off-centre circular dial partially enamelled to form the wheel of the chariot, displaying the hours in Roman numerals and set within a procession depicting a winged Cupid drawn by two butterflies. It rests on a rectangular base decorated with stylised palmettes. Empire period. Height: 29 cm Width: 22 cm Depth: 7.5 cm Note: ‘Papillons’ means ‘breath’ and ‘soul’ in Greek (from which the word is derived). Our model likely symbolises Cupid guided by the soul.
