About the Item

Antique French cartel clock of Venus with cherubs French, Late 19th Century Height 120cm, width 55cm, depth 20cm This remarkable cartel clock is inspired by an 18th-century design by Jacques Caffieri (1732-1806), a distinguished French sculptor. The original 18th century clock is part of the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but this elegant example is a beautiful homage to the original masterpiece. Entirely crafted from ormolu, this clock features an enamel dial topped with an impressive sunburst motif. In front of it, a delightful putto rides in Venus’s chariot, drawn by doves. The clouds surrounding the scene are delicately rendered, creating an ethereal effect. Flanking the dial are large, upward-reaching leaves that direct the viewer’s attention toward the cherub. The clock’s base is adorned with a finely pierced floral panel, with Cupid depicted as he pulls drapery over the reclining Venus. The goddess of love is shown in a peaceful slumber, attended by cherubs. The clock is finished with an acanthus leaf finial, adding a graceful touch to the design. The dial is signed ‘Chiout L’Ainé / A PARIS’ marking its French origin.
