Gilt Bronze Clock, Restoration Period, Circa 1819 - Diana The Huntress

A Restoration period gilt and chased bronze clock, "Diana the Huntress," circa 1819. Rectangular base decorated with scrolling foliage, garlands, and lyres. This clock represents Diana (Artemis in Greek), goddess of the hunt.
Note the decorative elements such as the bow held in her hand, the hunting dog at the foot of the dial, the hare and stag in bas-relief on the front, and the quiver and hunting implements to the left of the dial.
The cornucopia above the dial is a common symbol in Neoclassical and Restoration decorative art. It represents prosperity, fertility, and natural wealth. Rectangular base decorated with scrolling foliage and toupie feet. Wire-driven movement. Dial by Barbier in Paris.
This Parisian clockmaker was active during the Empire-Restoration period, and the inscription perfectly confirms the dating to around 1815–1830.
This clock is in excellent condition and works perfectly. It has just been serviced by a watchmaker. The gilding is of superb quality. The entire mechanism is original.
