French Charles X Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, and Gilt Bronze Figurative Clock

About the Item

French Charles X malachite, lapis lazuli, and gilt bronze figurative clock French, c. 1830 Measures: Height 75cm, width 53cm, depth 23cm This fine mantel clock is a superb example of the Charles X style. The clock, wrought from malachite, lapis lazuli, and gilt bronze, features the distinctive feature of most Charles X period clocks: a large sculptural surmount. In the present clock, the sculptural surmount depicts Urania, Greek muse of astronomy. She is accompanied by a lapis lazuli globe and a pile of gilt bronze books, which indicate her learning. Beneath Urania is the malachite clock drum, inset with a circular silvered dial set within a gilt bronze bezel moulded with zodiacal signs. The sculptural surmount is supported by a stepped malachite base mounted with gilt bronze elements, including a blind cartouche. The clock is raised on scrolled feet.

Antique French Gilt Bronze and Lapis Lazuli Mantel Clock after Falconet

By Étienne Maurice Falconet

Located in London, GB

French sculptor Etienne-Maurice Falconet (1716-1791) is the inspiration for this beautiful, sumptuous mantel clock. His clock, crafted in the late 18th Century and now on display at the Louvre Museum, caused such a stir when it was exhibited over 100 years later, at the Great Exhibition in Paris in 1900 that one reviewer claimed that it "attracted so much admiration from the crowds gathered around that the pressure was sufficient at times to endanger its safety." As well as this famed 'Three Graces...
