About the Item
A superb example of neoclassical artistry, this antique Louis XVI style mantel clock was crafted in Italy circa 1834. Rich in symbolism and detail, the clock features a finely cast gilt bronze sculpture of a youthful Cupid presenting a triton as he rides upon a gracefully modeled dolphin — a poetic allegory evoking mythological romance and the power of the sea.
The timepiece is set within a white enamel dial adorned with delicate Roman numerals, framed by a gilt bronze bezel with intricate beading. The clock rests on a solid white marble base, adorned with finely chiseled ormolu mounts and supported by elegant gilt bronze toupie feet, adding both visual balance and classical refinement.
Blending French Louis XVI influences with Italian sculptural charm, this mantel clock exemplifies the finest traditions of 19th-century decorative art. It remains in excellent antique condition, with a soft, aged patina that enhances its timeless appeal. It stands about Height: 20 inches Width: 14 inches Depth: 7 inches
A magnificent focal point for a mantel, console, or collector’s cabinet, this piece offers a rare combination of technical elegance, mythological narrative, and sculptural beauty.
