Why You’ll Love It
This sculpted porcelain mantel clock showcases the extraordinary artistry of renowned Spanish artisan Maria Victoria Heredia Guerbos. Inspired by elegant French Meissen-style arts, the clock features a classic white case adorned with a lavish arrangement of hand-sculpted flowers and playful cherubs. Two beautifully modeled bisque cherubs perch atop the clock, facing one another in animated conversation, their golden wings outstretched above a garden of delicate pink roses and vibrant yellow blossoms. A sculpted gilt ribbon bow and intricate openwork brass base add further richness. The reverse reveals finely sculpted foliage.
Perfect for displaying in a French salon, Rococo drawing room, grand entry hall, romantic bedroom, music room or palace interior.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
