Large French Figural Mantel Clock: Diana and Cupid France, late 19th century Patinated and gilt bronze 25 × 21 × 9 in.
This grand figural mantel clock depicts Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt, seated with Cupid, his quiver at her side and bow held loosely in her hand. A hound gazes upward, reinforcing Diana’s identity, while the richly cast base features classical reliefs and a sunburst dial with Roman numerals. The combination of sculptural storytelling and mechanical precision exemplifies the elegance and symbolism of French decorative arts during the Belle Époque.
