Item Details
Description
Louis XVI style portico clock; late 19th century.
Gilded bronze and marble.
Key preserved.
Measurements: 52 x 57 x 12 cm.
Louis XVI style table clock, with a white coloured structure following an architectural scheme, and applied gilded bronze decorations. The piece is structured as a classical style façade, inspired by the Baroque both in its mixtilinear plan and in the profusion of decorative elements, subordinated to the structural lines, without concealing the lines that define the piece. The façade is made up of a base comprising a single step, raised on low bronze feet, with projections that correspond to the columns and pillars of the main body. This base is topped with the typical Louis XVI ornamental repertoire, and is adorned with delicately chiselled rosettes in relief and plaques with plant-inspired compositions in relief. The façade has two columns supported by two central pillars with chiselled bronze bases and capitals. Between the two front pillars is the pendulum in the form of a radiate medallion, decorated in the lower centre with a classical mask. The façade is crowned by an entablature with the same mixtilinear profile of projections and recesses as the base. It is decorated with vases topped with bronze flowers. Next to the vases, garlands can be seen, starting from the upper part of the clock structure, where a large eagle with its wings spread out is placed.
