About the Item

Elegant gilt bronze clock, mounted on an ebonized wooden base and featuring a protective glass bell. The clock is decorated with a statuesque figure on the left, identifiable as Adonis, lover of the goddess Venus, with typical hunter's attributes; a hunting dog and a spear are also depicted on the right. Furthermore, the base of the clock features a clearly classical scene, featuring a reclining Adonis and presumably Diana, the goddess of the hunt, waking him with a bow in her hand. The clock face is decorated with triumphal motifs and features Roman numerals. The original silk-thread suspension mechanism chimes the hours and half-hours; the mechanism is intact and currently being overhauled. This is a clock of great class and elegance, capable of adding a touch of refinement and antiquity to any decor. French manufacture from the Neoclassical period, around the end of the 18th century.
