Stunning Ormolu Mantel Clock, Powerful Creativity of Dupasquier
About the Item
The outstanding mantel clock is in the style of Louis XVI – Louis Seize (1774-1792). Royal breath appears in each motif.
Almost the entire upper part of the clock is inlaid with ormolu but only the pedestal is made of extremely delicate ivory-white marble. If the shiny and bright golden color of the upper gilt bronze represents wealth and direct ostentatiousness, the pedestal embodies the beauty of clear, unrestrained, and strangely elegant.
Above the top of the clock is an image of a trophy representing the undefeated victory. The image of the trophy responds to the desire to win and expand the realm of the kings who are ruling the kingdom.
Along the two sides of the body of the mantel clock are sharp and delicately carved berries clusters. The bunches of berries droop gently and naturally with expertly curved carvings. The clusters of gilt bronze berries fall from the body of the trophy to the bottom of the clock in a natural way. The bunch of berries represents the birth, development, and abundance of fortune. The berries grow in luxuriant bunches and close together, showing the abundance and wealth of food sources.
This masterpiece is meticulously crafted by Dupasquier in every detail. He carves an acanthus motif that gives a breath of neoclassicism. During the Gothic period, the acanthus was round like an onion, but by Louis XVI it was elongated and had spikes to help create strangely strong curves.
Floral and leaf motifs are meticulously symmetrical with each other, bringing a gentle yet unique beauty such as grape leaves, or the acanthus. It evokes many emotions especially because the beauty can be perceived with clear intuition.
Although the main material is made of ormolu, Dupasquier breathes life into a living masterpiece. The movement inside the clock has been overhauled to ensure its strong vitality against the invisible forces of time. This Mantel clock brings irreplaceable values ??to the hearts of antique mantel clock lovers.
