About the Item
We are delighted to present you with this stunning 19th century clock featuring a seated figure of a young nobleman atop the clock case in gilt bronze in the style of Louis-Phillipe/Restoration Charles X.
The young man, figuring as the central point, is dressed in a lavish attire reminiscent of the Baroque era, with a loose-fitting jacket, breeches, and an elegant pair of boots. He is represented in a relaxed manner, resting his elbow on his knee. His hat and his bag are placed next to him. He is captured in a melancholic or completive moment thanks to his posture which gives him a dreamy, reflective quality. This kind of imagery was typical in 19th-century romantic movement, where artistic and literary figures were admired for their ability to transcend the mundane and where the individual's unique imagination was prioritised above the strictures of classical form.
The clock dial itself shows considerable wear, especially when compared to the more well-preserved gilded elements. The surface appears darkened, and shows wear usual for 19th century objects. Although the Roman numerals are still visible, the clarity is diminished precisely due to the worn surface.
The craftsmanship of this piece is of very high quality. The gilding shows a lot of ornaments, such as the subtle floral motifs flanking the clock dial, while the base of the clock is adorned with classical scrollwork. Indeed, the lower side of the clock has a wide section, featuring elaborate designs of flowing acanthus leaves. This base is wider and sturdier than the upper part, providing balance to the overall composition of this beautiful piece.
The nobleman's figure’s thoughtful posture suggests reflects the 19th century Romantic movement, which was prevalent in the world of art at the time and which emphasised the awareness and acceptance of emotions, individuality, sentimentality, and a return to nature.
This exquisite object would complement any beautiful interior designed in the traditional 19th-century style, making it an ideal addition for lovers and connaisseurs of Romanticism in both art and literature.
