A chiseled and gilded bronze clock, with the movement set wi - Lot 160
A chiseled and gilded bronze clock, with the movement set within a globe resting on clouds animated by cherubs symbolizing the winds; the base features three signs of the zodiac. Aurora, with wings of Zephyr, depicted standing and holding a torch, removes the starry veil of night and reveals the white enamel dial with Roman numerals, signed “Comminges – Palais Royal No. 62” and encircled by a floral garland. A crowing rooster completes the ensemble. The bas-relief depicts Aurora on her chariot, followed by Flora and preceded by the young Zephyr, holding the Morning Star in one hand and pouring dew with a watering can in the other. Restoration period. With chime, pendulum, and key. 56 x 40 x 15 cm Signs of wear; one foot needs to be screwed back on; minor imperfections in the gilding
