About the Item

This precisely modeled and incredibly attractive work by Eutrope Bouret was likely cast during the last ten years of the nineteenth century, the quality and detail of the sculpture being exceedingly fine. The bust depicts Cleopatra with a spread eagle crown and broad ribbons draping from her hair over a richly formed garment and necklace. Etched bands wrap around her upper arms, the entire sculpture resting over a trapezoidal socle and rectangular base with an integral plaque reading "CLEOPATRE". The right side of the base is signed in script "Bouret, sculp”. The bust rests over the mantel clock it was designed to accompany with two tiny pintles allowing the bust to remain in position (but also allowing it to be easily lifted off of the clock for safe transport). The clock itself has a distinctly Gothic appeal with intricate anthemion motifs surrounding the ring turned base below an open face dial with a Roman numeral chapter ring and finely chiseled and chased bronze outer frame. Behind the pierced rear door is the brass movement with the original pendulum and bell; the movement bears the marking of A. Lemaire, Paris and is marked 2057 to match the pendulum.

Antique Egyptian Revival Style Marble and Gilt Bronze Clock Set

Located in London, GB

This clock set is designed in the Egyptian Revival style, which was in vogue in Europe and America in the 19th century. The fashion was kick-started by Emperor Napoleon I’s campaign in Egypt in 1798-1799.

Austrian Art Deco Bronze Sculpture Mantel Clock by Anton Grath circa 1925

By Anton Grath

Located in Shippensburg, PA

ART DECO FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCK Anton Grath (Austrian, b. 1881) patinated and burnished bronze over marble signed "Anton Grath" and foundry marking monogrammed "HW" within an "H" to right side of base Circa 1925 Item # 203AXG01W A powerful figural clock of a partially nude male and female raising offerings of a laurel wreath and an empty vessel, they face one another before the bold architectural display of the clock flanked by coned finials. They are loosely symmetrical in garb, the burnished bronze capes flowing gently around and before them. The circular face of the clock rests on a pair of sleeping lions over a textured bronze rectangular plinth with a burnished bronze bas-relief of a young woman lying in the grasses of a setting sun raised on a variated marble base. This model was acquired formerly at the Sotheby's, New York sale on April 14th 2008, [Sale N08427, lot 155, achieved $ 5,000 USD] and the patina was enhanced at some point in the last fourteen years to include the parcel-burnished highlights in the figures. The right side of the base includes the signature and a monogrammed foundry mark (HW within an H). A very fine period example. Artist Listings & Bibliography: *E. Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Vol. VI, Gründ, 2006, p. 592-593 *The Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze, Mackay, Baron, 1977, p. 166 *Art Bronzes...
