About the Item

“Cupid’s Chariot”, a French Empire gilt bronze figural mantel clock. A French Empire gilt bronze figural mantel clock after model by Jean-Simon Deverberie (1724–1824), the round enamel dial ring with Roman numerals is set in the wheel of a chariot. The sculpture shows a chariot drawn by two spirited horses with enamel eyes and with a fire-breathing dragon making up its back portion, the front being composed of a shell on which Cupid stands holding a symbolic whip, rectangular base decorated with figures in relief. Elke Niehüser gives a wonderful description of the mythological representation Clock with an 8 day movement, silk suspension, striking at hours and halves on a bell. Literature : Pierre Kjellberg , Encyclopédie de la pendule française, page 416. Elke Niehüser, Die Französische Bronzeuhr, page 103. Text: "On the base relief Apollo / Helios passes through the heaven firmament with swirling speed. As if in a victory march, a winged genius with a lush filled basket and the goddess Mercury preceded him. To his entourage belongs the writing muse, which is surrounded by the attributes of her sister, a putto holds the laurel wreath. Apollo shows himself as "Musagetes" - leader of the Muses. Perhaps in the doubling of the triumphal motive, the competition of the two gods is represented visually, the last of the tender Amor-boy defeated the mighty god".
