"cupid" Clock In Gilt Bronze, Charles X Period, Early 19th Century

Gilt and patinated bronze clock representing on one side Cupid standing with brown patina, one finger in front of his mouth making the sign of silence, the other hand holding an arrow, the point resting on a vase with stylized handles in finely chiseled gilt bronze. On the other side we find the attributes of Cupid such as the bow, the arrow, a quiver, the whole decorated with a crown of delicately chiseled bronze flowers. The white enameled dial indicating the hours in Roman numerals is encircled by a frieze of water flowers in gilt bronze. Double evolution base richly chiseled with palmettes and flowers ending in four small ball feet decorated with a frieze of water flowers. Original wire movement striking the hours and half hours work with its key. Mercury gilding with double patina and original brown patina in very good condition (cleaned by our workshop)
