About the Item
Imperial Mantel Clock signed on the clock face “Renard suc(cursale) de Frissard, à Rouen”. It’s in gilded bronze and the mechanism is still working. The figure represents a lady wearing a peplum, sandals an a laurel wreath on the head. She’s holding a cartouche and she's in a relaxed pose, while a lyre is laying on the other side. For the attributes, we can identify her as Euterpe, the Muse of Music.
The Frissard were an originally Swiss family who became extremely important for the watchmaking. Their bases were in Normandy (Rouen) and in Paris. Between 18th and 19th century they were so praised that Napoleon himself requested their services, Renard was a branch office. The mechanism belongs to Honore Pons, who was an incredibly talented and famous watchmaker, who received several "gold medals", including one in the 1827, as reported inside.
