Gilded Bronze Charles X Paul And Virginie Clock In The Louis Philippe Romantic Style
Artist: Inconnu
An imposing gilt-bronze mercury-regulator clock dating from 1830, corresponding to the transitional period between the reigns of Kings Charles X and Louis Philippe.
The romantic theme of this clock is typical of the era; it depicts Paul, melancholic and distraught over Virginie’s departure for the city, based on the pastoral and tragic novel written by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, published in 1788.
Paul is depicted here in a lush, tropical setting, reminiscent of the environment where he was raised alongside his beloved Virginie, whom he will never see again.
This clock comes from an estate; it is being sold “as-is.”
The springs are in good condition; the wire suspension has been replaced with a suspension strip; the pendulum is present; the movement needs to be cleaned and serviced.
