About the Item

Clock with sculpture. Bronze, stone. Coupier Fila and Provart, Paris, France, late 19th century. Bronze sculpture depicting a boy sitting on a rock formation, raising one bare foot just above a crab raising its claws. It features a carved stone and gilded bronze base (in the form of classicist elements such as ribbons, garlands, etc.) on which there is a wind-up clock with a white dial and blue Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals and black numerals every five minutes. The clock also bears the inscription "Coupier Fila et Provart/ a Paris/ 100 Rue Amelot." Coupier Fila and Provart was a firm dedicated to the manufacture of clocks and bronze elements (sculptures, appliqués, etc.) located in Paris towards the end of the 19th century. The Paris-style machinery featured on the piece bears a stamp on the bronze that reads "medaille de bronze / J. Marti et Cie.", a reference to another well-known watchmaking firm active in Paris (France) in the second half of the 19th century. The name "August Moreau" is engraved on the rock formation on which the child sits, after whom the sculpture is inspired. Auguste Moreau (Paris, 1834–1917) was born in Paris, the son of Jean Baptiste Moreau, also a sculptor, painter, and draftsman, with whom he began his training. He furthered his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts, which produced famous artists such as Henri Matisse and the sculptor Georges Gimel. His works were first exhibited in 1861, and he soon became a well-known artist. He developed a special style of filigree figures, highly detailed figures and busts.
