French Massive Mantel Clock of Psyche and Cupid Signed Deniere

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.

  • 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...
