French Antique Ormolu Mantel Clock by Leroy Commemorating Napoleon Bonaparte

By LeRoy

Located in London, GB

This fine mantel clock is cast entirely in ormolu by celebrated Parisian clockmaker Leroy and commemorates the return of Napoleon's ashes to France in 1840. The clock is set on a rectangular, tiered base with four decorative feet. The lower tier is centred with a sleeping lion above a plaque showing the scarf, sword and hat of Napoleon.

To the top of the plaque is a portrait medallion of Napoleon with winged cherubs and the letter 'N'. The circular dial of the clock, signed 'Leroy a Paris', is set to the centre above the base within an ormolu border and flanked by the figures of France and an eagle to either side. Between them they hold an urn, which bears the inscription 'Ste Helene / 5 Mai 1821'. The figure of France holds a flag inscribed 'France 1840.'

French Annular Clock by Leroy & Cie

By LeRoy

Located in New Orleans, LA

Cupid himself indicates the time on this superb Louis XVI-style annular dial clock by L. Leroy & Cie. Sculpted of the finest Carrara marble, this elegant timepiece takes the form of an urn, upon which rotating chapter rings count the minutes and hours, replacing hands. This Neoclassical design also incorporates symbolic elements, from the pinecone finial and snake handles to the helmet and shield of the goddess Minerva, all crafted of doré bronze of the highest caliber. Set atop a matching pedestal, this piece exemplifies the French clock-making expertise of the 19th century. L. Leroy & Cie., who were well-established horologists in Paris during the second half of the 19th century, created some of the finest quality clocks of the day, many with highly complicated movements. This is believed to be the only annular dial clock still on its original Carrara marble base. The hour chapter ring is signed "L. Leroy & Cie/ Paris" Circa 1880 Clock with pedestal: 68 1/2" high x 16 1/2" square Early styles of timekeeping spheres and rotating chapter rings were first used in German Crucifix...
