Description
A trio of decorative objects featuring a sculpture, a wall mirror, and a table clock. The sculpture is a reproduction of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss, produced by the studio of Amilcare Santini in Italy. It is constructed from bonded marble or alabaster resin and mounted on a polished rectangular black and white veined marble plinth. The rear of the sculpture is incised with the signature A. SANTINI. The rectangular wall mirror is a Celtic Revival piece by Meek Arts & Crafts of Paisley, Scotland. The frame features a cast white metal border, likely a pewter alloy, decorated with high-relief Celtic interlace and knotwork patterns. The reverse is finished with black felt and retains a manufacturer label. The lot is completed by a Stanley table clock, featuring a circular quartz movement with a silver-tone Roman numeral dial, set within a heavy, undulating clear glass frame.
Sculpture height: 19 cm
Mirror dimensions: 26.5 cm x 18 cm
Clock diameter: 15 cm.
