Антикварные скульптурные часы «Lumen et Libertas»

An exquisite collectible antique clock by French masters with a sculpture by the famous author Emile Louis Picot. The pedestal is made of green marble, on which there is a sculpture of a winged man on a rock with a feather in his hand and broken shackles, symbolising freedom of thought and mind, as evidenced by the inscription below: "La Pensee Brisant Ses Chaines". The clock, which is embedded in the sculpture, is equipped with a mechanism for striking the hour and half-hour, topped with a porcelain dial. The sculpture was created by Emile Louis Picot (1833-1915), who created more than 500 works and became known for his allegorical and patriotic subjects, as well as sculptures of mythological heroes.
