About the Item
This exquisite mantel clock is a testament to the pinnacle of French horological artistry during the Louis XV period. Attributed to the renowned clockmaker Lépine, it showcases a harmonious blend of form, function, and artistic expression.
The centerpiece of the clock is a captivating sculptural group depicting a reclining female nude figure, believed to be a representation of Venus. The figure is exquisitely carved in white marble, with a delicate and lifelike quality. She rests on a base of simulated rockwork, adding to the scene's dramatic and naturalistic effect.
The white enamel dial, adorned with Roman numerals, features elegant blued steel hands and bears the signature of the maker, "Lépine." The clock movement is housed within the rockwork base, adding to the clock's overall sense of integration and sculptural unity.
The clock rests on a rectangular plinth embellished with gilt bronze mounts. These decorative elements, featuring scrolling foliage and putti motifs, further enhance the clock's luxurious aesthetic.
