LOUIS XV STYLE CLOCK Gilt bronze and enamel
H. 70 cm, W. 77 cm, D. 40 cm
This ceremonial clock with a white enamelled dial with Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals for the minutes has a particularly sought-after Louis XV style decoration. The terrace, consisting of a shell flanked by leafy scrolls, supports two loves celebrating the passage of time. A gushing vase crowning the top floods the entire object with its floral garlands. In the "Louis XV-Pompadour" style, this clock is reminiscent of the Second Empire's taste for the splendour of the Ancien Régime. Automatically translated by DeepL.
