AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Neoclassical Clock with Mythological Figures, sculpted in Carrara White Statuario marble, an winged figure, probably an angel or a deity, adopts a dynamic pose, while another female figure, semi-nude and seated, looks upward. The sculpture rests on a multi-level rectangular base, also in white marble.
The lower part of the base features a bas-relief depicting horses and a figure on a chariot, suggesting a classical mythological theme.
The dial, decorated with Roman numerals, is framed by a gilded ornament and is at the center of the sculptural composition. (The mechanism is housed inside).
The base on which it rests is for display, as is the photo on the mantel to give an idea of the context; the sale of this lot refers to the sculpture clock only.
