Small Sèvres Biscuit Porcelain Mantel Clock with Cupid – Art Nouveau Period

Elegant biscuit porcelain mantel clock from Sèvres depicting a winged Cupid modeled in the round, leaning gracefully against the dial. The finely executed modeling highlights the softness of the facial features, the fluidity of the pose, and the meticulous detailing of the wings and hair, demonstrating remarkable craftsmanship.

The circular enamel dial, with Arabic numerals, is delicately adorned with polychrome floral motifs and framed by a finely chased gilt bronze mount. The ensemble rests on a shaped base decorated with scrolling foliage and vegetal motifs, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, with its preference for flowing lines and naturalistic inspiration.

French work, late 19th – early 20th century.

Condition: in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible restorations.
A refined decorative timepiece of high quality, combining formal elegance and delicate execution, ideal for a porcelain collection or a period-style interior.
