About the Item
Charles X Period Ormolu Mounted Jacob Petit Porcelain Mantel Clock
French, c.1825
Height 36cm, width 18.5m, depth 10.5cm
Set within a beautiful porcelain case, parcel gilt, and florally decorated against a black ground, this fine mantel clock, with a central circular dial surrounded by an ormolu foliage wreath, was made in the Charles X period by the leading maker, Jacob Petit. The base which it is raised upon, below a rich ormolu mounted frieze, is decorated in line with the top, combining Neoclassical elements with a delightful Rococo floral aspect. It is marked to the base, 'J. P.'
Jacob Petit, born Jacob Mordecai, was a well-known and celebrated French manufacturer of porcelain in the 19th Century.
After studying drawing in the studio of Antoine-Jean Gros, a follower of Jacques-Louis David, Petit joined the famous Sevres Manufactory in 1822, where he painted porcelain wares. After travelling and studying throughout Europe , upon his return to France in 1830-31 he published a complete collection of interior decorations. Together with his brother, Petit bought a porcelain factory in Fontainebleau and, later, a workshop in Paris, where his work became distinctive for their ornamental character, delicate, pastel colours and their reinterpretation of the neo-Rococo of the early 19th Century.

- Porcelain Clock in the Louis XV Style by Jacob PetitBy Jacob PetitLocated in London, GBThis antique porcelain mantel clock demonstrates the 19th century nostalgia for the delicately elegant decorative arts under King Louis XV, also known as the Rococo style. Crafted by celebrated porcelain artist Jacob Petit, this exquisite clock is particularly notable for the way in which the porcelain has been shaped so as to give the clock such a whimsically free-spirited, scrolling shape. The clock is formed as a clock case upon a lower base, which are both decorated as a though a singular piece with green glaze on a white ground, accented with painted floral panels and extensive gilt highlights all over. The clock case, which is particularly exuberant in design, features a central, circular clock dial. The white enamelled dial is bordered with beaded ormolu, and features black Roman numerals and the inscription 'Scherer'- the name of the 19th century Parisian clock...Category
