About the Item

This magnificent mantel clock is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and refined aesthetic of 18th-century French horology. Attributed to Josué Panier, a renowned clockmaker of the period, this timepiece showcases a harmonious blend of form and function, typical of the style, with a strong emphasis on classical motifs and decorative elements. The clock is presented in a classic architectural form, with a central clock face framed by a dramatic architectural composition. The case is adorned with intricate Boulle marquetry, a technique involving the inlaying of brass and ebony to create stunning geometric and floral patterns. This intricate work is further enhanced by the addition of gilded bronze mounts, featuring meticulously crafted acanthus leaves, floral swags, and possibly other decorative elements. Above the clock face, a sculptural group, likely depicting a mythological scene, adds a dramatic and decorative element. The clock rests on a base embellished with further Boulle marquetry and gilded bronze mounts, creating a visually striking and opulent effect. Key Features: Boulle Marquetry: The use of ebonized wood and brass marquetry is a defining characteristic of this style, creating a visually striking and luxurious effect. Gilded Bronze Mounts: The addition of gilded bronze mounts enhances the overall visual impact and adds a touch of opulence. Sculptural Elements: The inclusion of a sculptural group adds a dramatic and artistic dimension to the clock. Attributed to Josué Panier: The attribution to Josué Panier, a renowned clockmaker of the period, lends significant historical and artistic value to the clock. Decorative Potential: This clock would make a stunning addition to any grand residence, serving as a centerpiece on a mantelpiece, console table, or as part of a larger display.
