A Very Fine French 19th Century Louis XVI style ormolu-mounted amaranth, tulipwood, sycamore and parquetry pedestal "Régulateur de Parquet" Clock, after the model attributed to Jean-Henri Riesener, surmounted by a cloud-form case cast with three Putti suspending garlands, centred by a white enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numerals, on a spreading socle with ribbon-hung garlands, above the square tapering pedestal headed by a laurel wreath beneath an Apollo mask, above scrolling foliage centered by a flower-filled urn, the sides with lozenge parquetry panels, on four paw-cast feet above a shaped plinth centered by a foliate wreath, on toupie feet. The bronze mounts bear the casting stamp "L. KAHN". The works by Samuel Marti - Stamped on back "Medaille D'Or - Paris 1900". Circa: 1900.
This clock is an antique copy of the celebrated model made circa 1785 and attributed to Jean-Henri Riesener, now in the Louvre (cat. C.Dr., No 185) illustrated in Pierre Verlet, Les Bronzes Dorés Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Picard, 1999, pp. 116 and 384.
Léon Kahn was a Parisian bronzier supplying finely chased ormolu and gilt-bronze castings after models of some of the great 18th century ébénistes like Jean Henri Riesener, Guillaume Benneman and Pierre-Philippe Thomire to renown local cabinet makers working in Paris during the last quarter of the 19th century and early 20th century. Many of Kahn's pieces bear the stamp "L.Kahn" on the underside. Kahn's furnishings have been offered at international auction houses and have been highly regarded by antique dealers, collectors and auction experts alike.
The firm of Samuel Marti et Cie.(1870–1890) was a renowned French clockmaker based in Paris during the second half of the 1800s. Samuel Marti established his business in 1841 in Montbéliard, in Doubs, a department in northeast France that was the birthplace of many of the most prestigious clockmakers.
Marti exhibited his clocks regularly at expositions in Paris, where he won a Mention of Honour in 1839, a Bronze Medal in 1860, a Silver Medal in 1889, and several Gold Medals (1841, 1851, 1852, 1900). Marti collaborated with another two celebrated French clockmakers: Roux and Japy Frères.
