Clock and vase Set 19th Century Louis Philippe Charles X style with 8-song

About the Item

This antique clock set is a luxurious masterpiece, perfect for adding elegance to hotel lobbies, grand living rooms, spacious hallways, and museums. The set comprises a mantel clock and decorative garnitures from the Louis Philippe I and Charles X era style. The centerpiece is adorned with two figures playing instruments: Apollo, the Greek god of art and truth, and a Greek boy with an Aulos flute. This scene portrays a mythical musical competition, emphasized by finely engraved black bronze. A key feature is the use of malachite on the clock base, known for its distinctive green color and believed to absorb negative energies. The enamel dial, framed in an acanthus-leaf motif, features both Arabic and Roman numerals and is equipped with gilded scroll hands. Below the dial is a relief showing three putti engaging in astronomical calculations, adding a touch of whimsy. The clock's intricately designed malachite plinth is embellished with gilded motifs, creating a harmonious blend of elements. Additionally, the clock houses a music box playing eight different tunes related to the Apollo and Marsyas competition. In summary, this clock set is not only a timekeeper but a symbol of luxury and artistry, ideal for making a stunning statement in opulent settings. Malachite is a gemstone known for its vibrant green color and unique banding. In feng shui and metaphysical beliefs, malachite is highly valued for several reasons: Protection: Malachite is believed to absorb negative energies and pollutants from the environment and the body, providing strong protective qualities. Transformation: It is associated with transformation and change, encouraging personal growth and helping to release negative patterns. Emotional Balance: Malachite is thought to promote emotional healing, balance, and stability, aiding in overcoming trauma and enhancing intuition. Prosperity and Luck: Known as a stone of prosperity, it is said to attract good fortune and abundance. Amplification: Malachite is believed to amplify both positive and negative energies, making it essential to use with good intentions. In feng shui, placing malachite in the home or workplace is thought to enhance these beneficial energies, especially in areas like the wealth and health corners.
