All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Mantel Clock: The Melancholy Love - Bronze - 1800-1850
Empire period French clock circa 1800 Represents the god of Love (Eros / Cupid), recognizable by the bow he holds in his right hand. Unlike his usual cheerful or mischievous representations, he adopts here a pensive posture and deep reverie, his head resting on his left hand, symbolizing romantic melancholy or heartbreak. The dog, faithful companion sitting on the right, raises its eyes to the dial, symbolizing here constant fidelity in the face of this melancholy. The bas-relief (pedestal): The bronze-gilt frieze adorning the base illustrates a mythological scene linked to romantic tragedy or loss (evoking the myth of Adonis wounded or Narcissus), which reinforces the poetic theme of lovelorn sadness. Bronze gilt and polished on agate Rest on four spindles Very good condition, the clock is delivered with its original pendulum, its winding key. The clock is functional, it has just been serviced Height: 37 cm, Width: 32 cm, Depth: 11 cm.
