C.1830, French, Ormolu Figural Clock, CUPID, in excellent original condition. This is a very attractive clock, Cupid at the right with arrow in his right hand (arrow tip repaired), and pointing to a screen with a 5-leaf clover, letter "A", an oak leaf, and a tiny cupid poised to release his arrow. To the left stand his quiver and bow, hung on a large vertical torch, all the ormolu finely chased and with nice detail. The well made silk thread movement is complete and sound, and ticking, although it might benefit from service. The gilt and engine turned dial has had the numerals repainted at some time (nice job). Hands are original. Nice romantic gift. Rear of case is sealed with some 40 year old cello substance that should be replaced. Height 14.5 inches
