About the Item

Dimensions - H: 92 1/2 in W: 24 in D: 17 in This magnificent French Louis XV style tall case clock represents the pinnacle of turn of the century horological artistry, executed in the distinctive manner of Joseph Emmanuel Zwiener, one of Paris's most celebrated ébénistes. While not bearing Zwiener's signature, this exceptional timepiece displays the same meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship that characterized the master's workshop on Rue de la Roquette. The clock features an exquisite inlaid marquetry case that showcases the sophisticated woodworking techniques of the finest French cabinetmakers. The marquetry work displays intricate geometric and floral patterns executed in contrasting exotic woods, creating a visual symphony that speaks to the highest levels of French decorative arts. The rich patina of the case reflects decades of careful preservation and attests to the quality of the original construction. The bronze ormolu mounts are nothing short of extraordinary – hand-chased with the crisp definition and artistic excellence that defines museum-quality French furniture. These superbly executed mounts, reminiscent of Zwiener's celebrated work, feature the characteristic rococo motifs of the Louis XV period: sinuous curves, naturalistic foliate designs, and the refined symmetry that epitomizes the style. The bronze retains its original fire-gilding, displaying the warm, lustrous finish that only authentic ormolu can achieve. The movement operates with three weights and pendulum, representing the traditional longcase clock mechanism that has kept precise time for generations. The locks and latches bear the prestigious mark of Vachette Frères Paris, renowned locksmiths whose work graced the finest French furniture of the period. This attribution adds significant provenance value, as Vachette Frères was the preferred locksmith for many of Paris's most distinguished ébénistes. The clock stands as a testament to the golden age of French furniture making, when master craftsmen like Zwiener elevated functional objects to the level of fine art. The combination of superior marquetry work, exceptional bronze ormolu mounts, and prestigious hardware creates a piece that would be equally at home in a grand château or the most sophisticated contemporary interior. This extraordinary timepiece represents a rare opportunity to acquire a clock of museum quality that embodies the very essence of French Louis XV decorative arts. Perfect for the discerning collector who appreciates the intersection of horological precision and artistic excellence. The piece is in good antique condition with the exception of some light surface scratches, Minor finish loss and normal age related wear. As to be expected with items of age and use. We recommend all clocks to be professionally serviced before use. (We have all 3 weights) If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! - D&P Luxuries
