A rare and finely executed 19th century porcelain clock attributed to Jaco Petit, featuring a dramatic figural composition of a knight mounted on horseback. The scene is richly detailed, with the knight dressed in armor and a flowing cobalt blue cloak accented with gilt decoration, creating a striking visual contrast.
The clock case below is formed in an ornate Rococo-style design, finished in deep cobalt blue with extensive gilt highlights and scrolling forms. The circular dial is set within the front, featuring Roman numerals and delicate hands, framed by intricate decorative elements.
The base is executed in porcelain with soft pink tones and additional gilded accents, adding further contrast and depth to the overall composition. The reverse reveals the clock mechanism, while the underside bears markings consistent with Jaco Petit production.
The sculptural group and clock together form a cohesive and highly decorative piece, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship of 19th century French porcelain. The combination of vivid colors, detailed modeling, and gilded ornamentation makes this clock a standout example of period decorative arts.
