Mantel clock - pendulum by François Linke in marble and gilded bronze

About the Item

Magnificent composition for this clock in marble and chiselled, gilded and patinated bronze depicting Venus disarming Cupid, who begs the goddess to return him bow and arrow. The white enamelled dial showing the hours in Roman numerals is signed "F. Linke Paris". One of the bronze is also signed "Linke". The mechanism works but would need to be revised especially if the pendulum has to make a long journey (ideally after shipment). It is in its original state, very well preserved, with key and balance (and also a little dust that can be cleaned during the overhaul). But if the buyer prefers, I can have it cleaned and revised before shipping (additional costs according to watchmaker's invoice).
