- Lot Description
Carlos X Clock; Paris, around 1830. Blued bronze, cut glass. It has an automaton. Measures: 54 x 27 x 19.5 cm. With a classical structure, this Charles X style clock moves away from the typical patterns of the time, presenting a more intricate decoration, although also inscribed within the classicism of the period. Through rounded volumes and geometric shapes, the clock starts from a square base, which is supported by four mythological animals (hippogriffs), made of gilded bronze, and located in each of the corners. On this base is established the lower structure, through which represents a large fountain, where you can see the transparency of the glass, which mimics the translucency of water. In the upper zone of this body, located in the corners, a knight and a dog decorate the scene. The man is wearing military clothing and carrying a weapon, while the dog, because of its breed, seems to be designed for hunting. Thus forming a certainly costumbrista set, which differs somewhat from the classic character that usually represent scenes based on mythology. In the center of both characters can be seen the main structure of the clock, as it houses the golden dial, with Roman numerals in black and the characteristic hands of the time. Under the dial as a mouth of truth, made of gilded bronze, is the place from where the water starts that has been interpreted with a piece of glass piece. Finally, the clock, topped with a structure dominated by a cup of classicist format, in whose lower area can be seen three feline heads with open jaws. Place from which flows the glass that mimics the water and is deposited on three scallops, which act as the basis of this second source.
