About the Item

French massive mantel clock of Psyche and Cupid signed Deniere. Superb example after the original late 18th century model by Claud Michalon. This version was made by the famous early 19th century bronzier Deniere. These fabulous and sexy bronzes are entwined around each other as Psyche holds a gilded floral wreath over the head of Cupid. The eight day movement regulated by a silk suspended pendulum and striking the hours and halves on a bell by means of the countwheel system. Constructed of black marble, patinated bronze and original ormolu with lower wooden base. Signed to the bottom of the annular white enamel dial Deniere Ft. de Bzes a Paris. Deniere was known to have been working at the Rue Turenne in 1812 and after 1820 at the Rue d'Orleans.
