France, circa 1810 -1820 Table Clock with a Handmaid Mercury Gilded Bronze
Located in Milan, IT
France, circa 1810 -1820
Table clock with a handmaid
Mercury gilded bronze, alt. cm 59.5 x 40.5 x 13
Signed in the quadrant "Sezille Palais Royal Nº 133 à Paris"
Akin to the prevailing taste of the Napoleonic era that envisaged a return to antiquity, the Empire Style was used for the decoration of furniture, architectural structures, furnishings, wall hangings and fabrics. The style envisaged a classical return to order, embellished by the antiquarian whimsy inspired by the recent archaeological discoveries at Herculaneum and Pompeii: the constant Roman and Hellenistic remembrance was celebrated through applications depicting laurel or oak garlands, imperial symbolism, mythological figures, sphinxes, muses, personifications and more.
This watch organises the mechanical case on a parallelepiped supporting structure, subdivided into two parts connected by a sinuous greek decoration with flowers; the whole structure rests on the plane by means of convex feet decorated with a dense network of small flowers inscribed within a modular rhombus, culminating, in the attachment to the central body of the watch, with a theory of palmettes. The upper part of the parallelepiped body, inscribed with mythological figuration like the ancient stelae, encloses the latter with a frame of stylised palm leaves interspersed with discs of flowers, in turn accompanied, on the two vertical sides, by a lively vegetal triumph. Considering the iconographic range used by the bronzeworkers for the decoration of the clocks, it is possible to recognise in the mythological scene depicted the muse of poetry and music, Calliope, accompanied by the attributes of the lyre and the laurel branch, used to pay homage to poets. The two winged geniuses in front of her carry scrolls and plates on which to engrave the verses the muse dictates daily to men; the reward for human intellect is emphasised by the two similar crowns the muse holds in her hands, depicting a serpent biting its tail. This symbol, which the mediaeval era would borrow from the Hellenistic-Roman environment of Gnosticism by creating the figure of the uroboros, metaphorically manifests the purpose of the clock, being used to personify the eternal return of time and the cyclical nature of the material life of men.
The case of the watch is enclosed in a zither, which is flanked by a woman crowned with laurel; the upper part has two griffin heads in correspondence with the arms of the zither, and a second female face crowned with a ring of petals/rays, again alluding to the sublime elevation of poetry. On the right side of the instrument rests a lighted torch accompanied by an extinguished upside-down torch, an allusion to present well-being, victorious over the failings of life, to which the bust of a philosopher in a disc also alludes. The dial has a porcelain ring while the hands are Breuguet. Mechanism with "anchor" escapement with silk-wire pendulum and chime...

A Twin Fusee Bracket Clock By Dent
By Dent
Located in Amersham, GB
A striking two train bracket clock of exceptional quality by one of the great nineteenth century makers. The eight day twin fusee movement strikes on a blued steel gong behind a silvered arabic dial, signed Dent and numbered 58242 on both th dial and the back plate. Housed in a solid mahogany case with brass mounts and a gadrooned pergoda top surmounted by an acorn finial, and supported by bun feet. The sides ar pierced with attractive fish scale sound vents lined with dark blue velvet.
The movement and case are both of remarkable quality, as you would expect from a clock made by Dent. The history of Dent & Co. spans three centuries of precision watch and clock making in Great Britain. Established in 1814 by Edward J. Dent, the company embraced the Victorian fervour for technological innovation and created precision chronometers to navigate the Royal Navy and guide some of the most intrepid explorers on their voyages. The British Empire was in full expansion and its maritime tradition had produced some remarkable technological breakthroughs from the late 18th century. Propelling the impetus of Britain’s primacy, Dent proved a key player in Victorian horological history manufacturing the Standard Clock at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich which was to keep “Greenwich Mean Time” the time to which all others in the Empire were referred (better known today as G.M.T.) and continued to do so until replaced by an electronic clock in 1946. Dent also made probably the most famous clock in the world - the Great Clock for the Houses of Parliament, familiarly known as Big Ben.
Dent’s reputation soared and their chronometers accompanied some of the century's most influential and colourful explorers. Dent chronometer...

Basil Charles Le Roy Empire Clock, Pierre-Philippe Thomire, circa 1810
Located in Sofia, BG
Empire clock, circa 1810.
Pendulum attributed to Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751-1843), the enamelled dial with Roman numerals is signed Le Roy, watchmaker of Madame in Paris.
Basil Charles Le Roy (1765-1828).
The name of Le Roy is linked to one of the most important dynasties of Parisian watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Basile Le Roy was the first watchmaker in the line, but it was his son, Basile-Charles, who was the true founder, becoming master-watchmaker in 1785 and creating the same year, under the arcades of the Royal Palace, the workshop will remain that of the family for more than a century.
Spirit turned to innovation, Basile-Charles participates in international exhibitions, files patents, collaborates for the realization of the cases of his clocks with the best Parisian craftsmen, particularly bronziers Remond, Thomire, Galle and Reiche.
He has an exceptional career and becomes watchmaker of Her Imperial and Royal Highness Mother, of the Emperor, King of Westphalia, Her Imperial Highness Princess Pauline, honorary watchmaker of King Louis XVIII under the Restoration and the Garde-Meuble of the crown.
Nowadays, some clocks of the watchmaker belong to the most important private and international public collections, especially those preserved in the Louvre Museum and the Ministry of War in Paris, the Paul Dupuy Museum in Toulouse, the Royal Museums of Art and in Brussels and the International Watchmaking Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751-1843)
This bronzer was one of the most remarkable representatives of his art at that time. Student of Houdon, destined by his talent to be a sculptor, he renounces it for lack of money (the statuary requires financial means that he does not have.) He enters the studio of bronzier and carver Pierre Gouthière, whose He quickly acquired the mastery and secrets of the trade and after the bankruptcy of the company, Thomire set up shop in 1776 and gradually established himself as the most famous chiseller of his generation.
From royal orders to imperial supplies, his workshop is so developed that it employs up to seven hundred people, raising its craftsmanship to an industry recognized throughout Europe and to the United States, thanks to a level of quality that illustrates French excellence during the Empire.
A clock similar to ours was delivered to the Garde-Meuble by the watchmaker Bailly on December 30, 1810 (Inventaire de Compiègne brands, CP crowned), it takes place in the living room of the apartment of the Duchess of Bassano, then under the Restoration in the circular living room...
