Hello dear buyer i am offering a piece from my collection This antique clock set is a luxurious masterpiece, perfect for adding elegance to hotel lobbies, grand living rooms, spacious hallways, and museums. The set comprises a mantel clock and decorative garnitures from the Louis Philippe I and Charles X era style. The centerpiece is adorned with two figures playing instruments: Apollo, the Greek god of art and truth, and a Greek boy with an Aulos flute. This scene portrays a mythical musical competition, emphasized by finely engraved black bronze. A key feature is the use of malachite on the clock base, known for its distinctive green color and believed to absorb negative energies. The enamel dial, framed in an acanthus-leaf motif, features both Arabic and Roman numerals and is equipped with gilded scroll hands. Below the dial is a relief showing three putti engaging in astronomical calculations, adding a touch of whimsy. The clock's intricately designed malachite plinth is embellished with gilded motifs, creating a harmonious blend of elements. Additionally, the clock houses a music box playing eight different tunes related to the Apollo and Marsyas competition. In summary, this clock set is not only a timekeeper but a symbol of luxury and artistry, ideal for making a stunning statement in opulent settings.
