About the Item
"The Coronation of Love" or "Love & Psyche" after Claude Michallon
This double figural clock representing The Coronation of Love or Love and Psyche after Claude Michallon. Psyche draped in fabric held by a belt, leans over the central pillar made of griotte marble to crown Amour, known for his wings and the quiver at his waist. The clock contains a gilded bronze dial with Roman numerals, sitting above lyre flanked by foliage. The two tiered rectangular base is decorated with a large central garland which reaches out towards either side curning to create circles tied together by ribbon. Below rests a bow with two bird heads, and a spouted jardiniere crowns the entire composition, all resting upon four winged animal paws.
After an antique marble from the Capitol in Rome, this piece was created by Michallon (1751-1799) during the Directoire period. The design was a great success due to the popularity of the subject in the 19th century. Some versions are kept in renowned museums such as the Château de Fontainebleau, the Musée Marmottan-Monet, the Hôtel de la Marine in Paris and the Royal collections in England.
