About the Item

The gilt bronze mantel clock has a base decorated on the front with leafy phytomorphic motifs and a central floral element, and is supported by elaborate spinning top feet that streamline its shape. On the base rests a large plinth in which the dial is housed and on the side the figure of a young man leaning against the plinth. The display of the clock in Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals for the minutes bears the writing at the top “Lu. Lacroix H.er. " and under the heading "De S. A. I. Lu Prince Camille, A Turin". Under the dial, in gilded and chiseled bronze, there is a panoply with a basket overflowing with fruit and vegetables, above which a shovel and a lituo are crossed and from which two rich vegetable garlands hang; on the side a mask with female features within a crown consisting of two cornucopias and laurel branches. To the left of the plinth there is a young man with a short cassock and a long shovel held in his hands, in a relaxed attitude and leaning with his left arm against the structure of the clock, above which a bagpipe is placed. The mechanism is original. to the wind. The quadripartite tops, always in striped walnut, have an almond-shaped reserve in the center with floral decorations that is started inside by two fans and a central rose window. The feet are in the shape of a truncated pyramid.
