This gigantic clock tells the story of Hercules' battle with the Stymphalian birds. The sculpture is by Jean Du Roncourt mounted on a French Art Deco clock. The clock is 19" in length, 27" in, height, and 6" in depth.
When I received it the bottom of the bow was broken and lost with just about an inch left. I took the bow apart and made a cast of the top of the bow. When I went to recast it, I reincorporated the pieces that was left into the new bottom, the result is the first picture. The two below it are before the recast of the bow. I think it came out great. The bow was originally Ivory, the top still is and part of the bottom.
Great clock. You did a great job !!!
Magnificent piece, the clock is really nice but the Hercules figure is fabulous! I always love stories about him, that's a great pose - you did an excellent repair on the bow
