Spelter Clock

Large Clock inspired by the sculpture of Claude Michallon (1751-1799) representing "Psyche crowning Cupid". This Pendulum illustrates an episode in the myth of Psyche in which she prepares to place her white crown of purity on Eros' forehead. The two lovers are dressed in a simple veil which hides their nakedness, and they don their respective attributes, angel wings for Cupid and butterfly wings for Psyche. This large spelter group with a brown patina surrounds a delicately chiseled central bollard featuring flowers and torches. In the center, a white enamel dial accompanied by its fine golden hands is adorned with flowers and signed "René Bonnaud - Fontenay le Comte". Its glass is domed. This large clock and this spelter sculpture have a pink marble base veined with white and green supported by four chiseled brass feet. This clock with romantic characters will charm you with its beauty and the poetry that emanates from it. ******** Period: 1900. Clock of excellent manufacture in a remarkable state of conservation.
