Rare Louis XVI Period Portico Clock by Jacques-Claude-martin Rocquet
About the Item
Rare Louis XVI period portico clock in white marble and gilded and chiseled bronzes with antique-inspired decoration. This important Neo-classical clock of the late 18th century is composed of two sheaths with caryatids, surrounded by friezes of pearls and topped by stylized palmettes. The two sheaths enclose a white enamelled dial showing the hours in Roman numerals. The lower part of the dial is decorated with an openwork drapery. The dial is surmounted by a basket of flowers from which two garlands of flowers spring on each side. The wire sundial is decorated with a radiant cherub in finely chased bronze. The set rests on a white marble base decorated with a frieze of laurel and palmettes, a frieze of olives and a star in its center, in gilt bronze.
This Louis XVI style clock is signed on the dial "Rocquet à Paris", for Jacques-Claude-Martin Rocquet (1765-1816), a renowned master clockmaker under Louis XVI and the Empire.

- Cupid and Psyche Clock after Claude MichallonLocated in Paris, FRClock representing the Coronation of Love or Love and Psyche after Claude Michallon. Psyche, dressed in a wet drapery held by a belt, leans over the central pillar in griotte marble to crown Amour, recognizable by his wings and his quiver at his waist. The gilded bronze dial with Roman numerals is set in the pillar decorated with a lyre surrounded by oak leaves. The rectangular base is decorated with leaves, crowns, garlands, trophies of arms and rosettes motifs. The ensemble is supported by four small winged claw feet in gilded bronze. This figure created by Michallon (1751-1799) during the Directoire period, after an antique marble from the Capitol in Rome, was a great success due to its elegance and the popularity of the subject of Love and Psyche in the 19th century. It was declined many times notably by Feuchère and Thomire. Some examples are kept in renowned museums such as the Château de Fontainebleau, the Musée Marmottan-Monet, the Hôtel de la Marine...Category
