About the Item

French Empire clock of stunning quality constructed of rouge marble, original fire gilt ormolu and patinated bronze. Set upon four ormolu paw feet to the rouge marble base, rising to the marble case housing the movement, with applied ormolu mounts depicting psyche and cupid embracing, between two torches. On the top of the case is a further ormolu mount of a quiver of arrows. An extremely finely modelled figure of cupid in patinated bronze stands, leaning against the case of the clock. The Fine ormolu bezel surrounds the convex, white enamel dial, with roman numerals and breguet half moon hands, and is signed Picnot a Paris, who is known to have been working at the Rue du Fosses Montmartre in 1812. The movement is further stamped Picnot, and is an 8 day, silk suspension movement with outside countwheel, that strikes on the half hours and hour. A very Fine french Empire clock in superb condition. A near identical model, but without the mount of Psyche and cupid, can be seen in Pendules Du Mobilier National 1800-1870 pp. 57.
