Large Meissen Splendour Clock, Crowned By Jupiter, J.J. Kaendler, Germany, 1860
About the Item
This magnificent Meissen clock rests on a rock pillar supported by five robust, gold-accented rocaille feet, richly adorned with intricately sculpted flowers, foliage, and elaborate rocaille motifs encircling the dial. At the pinnacle of the clock sits a youthful figure of Jupiter, the Roman god of gods and ruler of the heavens, seated on a throne of clouds. A crown adorns his head, a scepter rests on his right shoulder, and in his left hand, he holds a flaming bolt of lightning. An eagle with wings outstretched, symbolizing Jupiter's supreme authority, stands by his side. Beneath the dial, at the base of the rocky pillar, the aged Chronos—personification of time—writhes in resistance, representing life's relentless passage, striving against the unyielding force of time itself.
The clock’s dial is crafted from pristine white porcelain, featuring painted Roman numerals in deep blue for the hours, and black Arabic numerals for the minutes. Framed by a brass surround and accented with black hands, the clock boasts an eight-day movement with an hour and half-hour strike on a resonant bell, combining both beauty and precision in this timeless piece.
