Important Bronze Clock "cupid And Psyche", 19th Century
Important bronze pendulum with 3 patinas representing “Cupid and Psyche” after the sculpture by Antonio Canova. The two figures leaning on a pillar embrace tenderly; Psyche delicately holds Cupid's hand to offer him a present. The two lovers are dressed in a simple veil which hides their nudity; they wear their respective attributes, angel wings for Cupid and butterfly wings for Psyche. On the terminal an antique lamp and a sword symbolize the moment when the goddess seeks to discover the identity of her lover whom she must not know under penalty of losing him; but one night taking advantage of the latter's sleep, she approaches it and discovers that the monster imagined by everyone is none other than love…. 19th century period
