Celebrating Love's triumph, this charming clock is of a very successful model of which several examples are known, including one illustrated in H. Ottomeyer, P. Pröschel, et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol.I, p. 354 and another illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Encyclopédie de la Pendule Française, Paris, 1997, p. 416.
