English Regency Neo-Classical Mantel Clock of Psyche and Cupid

About the Item

English Regency neo-classical mantel clock of Psyche and Cupid. A fine case of rouge marble, patinated bronze and original ormolu. The superb rouge marble breakfront base with D ends is set upon six two piece ormolu toupee feet. The base is decorated with ormolu stars and discs and to the centre, fine applied ormolu griffins among Amthemion decoration. Surrounding the base is heavy ormolu beading. The figures of Psyche and Cupid are in patinated bronze, with Cupid standing on ormolu clouds while Psyche stands upon the base, both reaching out to each other with a laurel branch between them. The clock itself sits upon a patinated bronze plinth with laurel leaf decoration and the movement and dial sit within a fine ormolu drum. The large white convex enamel dial with offset winding hole and finely decorated gilt bronze hands has Arabic hour numerals. The dial is surrounded by a beautifully decorated ormolu bezel. The movement is of 8 day duration, key wound and is an English fusee timepiece movement with fixed pendulum.

  • Cupid and Psyche Clock after Claude Michallon
    Located in Paris, FR
    Clock representing the Coronation of Love or Love and Psyche after Claude Michallon. Psyche, dressed in a wet drapery held by a belt, leans over the central pillar in griotte marble to crown Amour, recognizable by his wings and his quiver at his waist. The gilded bronze dial with Roman numerals is set in the pillar decorated with a lyre surrounded by oak leaves. The rectangular base is decorated with leaves, crowns, garlands, trophies of arms and rosettes motifs. The ensemble is supported by four small winged claw feet in gilded bronze. This figure created by Michallon (1751-1799) during the Directoire period, after an antique marble from the Capitol in Rome, was a great success due to its elegance and the popularity of the subject of Love and Psyche in the 19th century. It was declined many times notably by Feuchère and Thomire. Some examples are kept in renowned museums such as the Château de Fontainebleau, the Musée Marmottan-Monet, the Hôtel de la Marine...
