Estimate value
€ 9 000 – 18 000
Seltene Empire-Figurenpendule "Atala und Chactas" sog. Pendule au bon sauvage. Bronze, vergoldet und teilw. dunkel patiniert. Vollplastische, szenische Darstellung der Befreiung des, an einen als Opferfeuer vorbereiteten Holzstapel gelehnten und an eine Palme gefesselten Chactas durch seine Geliebte Atala, nach dem Vorbild der im Zeitkontext wohl berühmtesten Liebesgeschichte von Francois René Vicomte de Chateaubriand aus dem Jahre 1801. Im gekanteten Sockel reliefierte Darstellung mit dem Ausblick auf den tragischen Ausgang der Liebesgeschichte. Profilgerahmtes Zifferblatt, bez. "Dubus(?) à Paris". Pendulenwerk mit Fadenaufhängung sowie Halbstundenschlag auf Glocke. Rest. mit Erg.; Pendel fehlt. H. 42 cm. 32 cm x 10,5 cm.
"Die Pendulen "Au bon Sauvage" sind als Zeichen der Bewunderung für das Exotische ein typisches Merkmal der Aufklärung des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts. Sie zeigen die Sehnsüchte einer bis dahin europazentrierten Gesellschaft, die vor allem durch die Entdeckung der Seefahrt und durch die Revolution 1789 gedrängt wurde, über den gewohnten Horizont hinauszublicken."
Vgl. Niehüser, S. 141 sowie S. 144.
A rare French gilt bronze Empire mantel clock. Restored with later additions. Pendulum missing.
