... in chiseled and gilded bronze punctuated with flowers and comprising in its center a bas-relief of putti in waves or clouds. It rests on four finely chiseled small feet.
The "portico" or "portico" clock was invented in the Louis XVI period, as was an unrivaled variety of other models. The gantry model will meet with immense success and will experience a wide variety of variations. It is still a real small architecture in reduction, including columns, consoles, urns, and ornamental repertoire borrowed from architecture. This architectural inspiration is governed by neoclassicism and "Greek taste" drawing its references from the discoveries of the archaeological sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
This clock is perfectly representative of the portico clock as it was appreciated during the Louis XVI period. The marble columns, the bases, the stepped terrace, the ornamental repertoire, all borrow from architecture. The use of white and black marble, urns and trophies refers to Antiquity, while the rich use of chiseled and gilded bronze with Ormoulu shows and recalls the precious character of the piece.

- Mantel Clock 18th Century Louis XV Period by Kinable À ParisLocated in Warsaw, PL"Late 18th Century - Kinable A Paris" Along a winding dirt path, the blind Belisarius carries his young guide. The boy has been bitten by a snake, which remains coiled around his bleeding leg. With his right arm wrapped limply around Belisarius's neck and his eyes closed, the youth balances precariously between life and death. Belisarius's eyes are also closed, but guided by his stick he moves forward with determination and purpose. He rises heroically against the spectacular sunset, a monumental figure creating a powerful outline against the sky. But the flaring sunset also signals a chill night and the uncertainty of the path ahead. Belisarius was a popular Byzantine general of the Roman Empire whose promising career was sabotaged by the jealous Emperor Justinian I. In 1767, a novel by Jean-François Marmontel revived interest in Belisarius. In Marmontel's novel, the emperor has the heroic general blinded, reducing Belisarius to begging. He is eventually rediscovered and aided by former officers and his family. This dramatic tale of patriotism, injustice, and redemption was widely embraced in revolutionary and post-revolutionary France and was a popular subject for artists--including Jacques-Louis David (François Gérard...Category
