Important Clock In Regulates "roman Race" By X.raphanel - Late Nineteenth

Winding clock in spelter, with bronze patina, by the French sculptor Xavier Raphanel (1876-1957). Knight of the Legion of Honor, he is known for his chryselephantine works, a technique he masters to perfection. The work “Race Romaine” is the queen event of circus games during antiquity. It presents a chariot, decorated with scrolls, drawn by two prancing horses. These equines are led by a charioteer wearing a toga floating in the air. The clock forms one of the wheels of the chariot. Its dial is white enamelled and decorated with garlands of flowers. The hours and quarter hours are graduated in Arabic numerals. The whole rests on a pink Valencia marble plinth. This important clock will appeal, among other things, for its charisma and the finesse of the artist's work. ********** Period: Late 19th century.
