Offered by Antichità San Felice
Rare model of barrel clock from the Empire period, France, early 19th century.
The pendulum model whose mechanism is hidden in a barrel has spread throughout the world of luxury empire watchmaking and is also found in the version with the black slave. In this case, a young Cupid draws wine from a barrel that he has visibly pierced with his arrow and collects it in his quiver. The sought-after and balanced composition, the subtle contrasts between shiny and matte gilding are characteristic of the Directoire and Empire tastes and of a watchmaking intended for a wealthy and cultured clientele.
Beautiful mercury gilding in excellent condition, complete original pendulum mechanism. At the customer's request, the clock can be delivered already serviced by our trusted watchmaker.
