EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a late Louis XV ormolu mantel clock with a profile medallion of Henri IV held by Venus. Crafted by the French School in the 18th century, this exquisite timepiece stands at an impressive height of 48cm and is currently part of a private collection. The clock's intricate design features delicate decorative techniques, highlighting its historic significance and artistic craftsmanship. The focal point of this remarkable piece is the profile medallion of Henri IV, held gracefully by Venus herself. This combination of sovereign symbolism and mythology creates a truly unique aesthetic that transports viewers back to the opulence and grandeur of the late eighteenth century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Georges Causard, an active figure in the art world during 1770-89. His expertise in metalwork shines through in every detail, from the carefully sculpted cupid figures to the ornate gold accents adorning the clock. With its side view captured beautifully in this studio shot, we are reminded not only of its functional purpose as a timepiece but also its status as a work of art. This antique treasure serves as a testament to French history and royalty, evoking feelings of majesty and awe. As we admire this single object frozen in time, it invites us to delve into centuries past where mythological tales intertwined with daily life – reminding us that even today, beauty can be found within both history and artistry.
