Gilt bronze clock representing "The Voyage of Love and Time", the two characters sailing on a nave with swan's necks, base with cut sides symbolizing the sea with two crocodile heads, decorated with shells and marine attributes (trident , oar...), mounted on 4 claw feet, model attributed to the famous sculptor Boizot*, from the 1st Empire period at the beginning of the 19th century. This clock is in good condition and is of exceptional quality. We have the pendulum but not the key. It works (has been revised). A note: some slight traces of dirt in places, the anchor can be removed, wear of time, see photos. * Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809) is a French neoclassical sculptor. He was a pupil of the sculptor Michel-Ange Slodtz when he won the first prize in Rome in 1762. He then joined the Royal School of Protected Students. This success will also allow him to leave for Rome in 1765 where he will stay for five years at the Académie de France. From 1773, he exhibited at the Salon. He was appointed professor at the School of Fine Arts in 1805. Boizot worked mainly for the French capital, mainly creating sculpted decorations for public buildings. However, Boizot acquired a certain notoriety when he succeeded, in 1774, replacing the sculptor Falconet at the head of the sculpture workshops of the Manufacture de Sèvres.
