AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Neoclassical Clock with Mythological Figures, sculpted in Carrara White Statuario Marble, a 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 rectangular multi-level 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, just as the photo on the mantel serves to give an idea of the context; the sale of this lot refers to the clock sculpture only.
