18th Century Gilt Bronze Boulle Marquetry Ormolu-Mounted Bracket Clock
About the Item
A regence boulle marquetry ormolu-mounted bracket clock
Our violin-shaped cartel is decorated with a marquetry Boulle with engraved brass decorated with windings, florets, cartridges and leaf scrolls. It opens on the front with a glass door and on the back with a door with brass marquetry decoration on a brown varnished background.
The front door with gilt bronze framing is decorated with a bronze displaying two putti with an hourglass, a flaming torch and accompanied by a rooster.
This purely allegorical ornamental repertoire fits perfectly into the representation of time. The hull signifies the end of the night and its cry announces the rising of the day, the hourglass: the time which elapses, the flaming torch is the fire which lights up in the night.
The pediment of the cartel is topped with a figure of putti sitting on a rock holding a dove. This representation is often associated with the allegory of air.
Beautiful ornamentation of gilt and finely chiseled bronzes such as cartridge central and leafy windings falling, the busts of women at the angles ending with the wound hooves, leafy apron.
Very beautiful gilt and chiseled bronze dial with twelve enameled cartridges with Roman numerals.
The console in Boulle marquetry as well, adorned with gilt bronzes in the shape of the women's heads at the corners and a central mascaron of a bearded man.
The original 18th century movement signed Ester in Paris.

- An Important Louis XV gilt bronze bracket clock with musiciansLocated in PARIS, FRAn impressive large cartel clock adorned with musicians Gilt bronze Period Louis XV, circa 1760 Mecanism by J. B. Regnauld (1733-1809) clockmaker at Châlons sur Marne Gilt bronze attributed to Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain (1719-1791) Excellent original condition Dimensions : h. 47.24 in, w. 22.84 in. Provenance : collection Eduard Palmer (chief executive of Imperial and Royal Austrian Länderbank), Vienna, Austria. His estate sold at Dorotheum auction, Vienna, December 1 to 6, year 1915. This exceptional cartel clock we are offering here is one of the most representative works of Rocaille art during the reign Louis XV. The case is entirely executed in gilt bronze, very finely chiselled and depicts at its top a pastoral scene with a duo of musicians. A standing flute player, accompanied by a singer sitting on a rock holding a sheet music book. The couple are accompanied by a dog sitting quietly next to it and scratching its ear. The whole is embellished with flowery and foliage branches, volutes and large scrolls of acanthus, enclosing reserves lined with crimson velvet fabrics with pierced brass plates with stylized foliage and scrolls. This bucolic scene draws its inspiration from the paintings by Nicolas Lancret and Antoine Watteau. The circular white enamelled dial is signed “Regnauld à Chaalons”, indicates the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes in Arabic numerals by two pierced and gilded brass hands; the movement plate on the back is also signed. It strikes the hours, the half-hours, as well as the quarters, which was quite rare. Our cartel can be compared to an almost identical model whose movement is signed Pierre Le Roy...Category
