Large Clock inspired by the sculpture by Claude Michallon (1751-1799) representing "Psyche crowning Love".
This clock illustrates an episode from the myth of Psyche, in which she is about to place her white crown of purity on Eros' forehead. The two lovers are clothed in a simple veil that conceals their nudity, and they don their respective attributes, angel wings for Cupid and butterfly wings for Psyche.
This important group in brown patina regula surrounds a delicately chased central post featuring flowers and torches. In the center, a white enamel dial with fine gilded hands is decorated with flowers and signed "René Bonnaud - Fontenay le comte". The glass is domed.
This large clock and sculpture in regule have a pink marble base veined with white and green, supported by four chased brass feet.
This clock with its romantic characters will charm you with its beauty and poetry.
