Louis XVI Style Ormolu Mounted Long Case Clock by H&F À PARIS

About the Item

This impressive long case clock is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and horological ingenuity of the 18th century. Executed in the Louis XV style, it showcases a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality. The clock features a tall, slender case, likely crafted from ebonized wood, providing a striking contrast to the ornate gilt bronze mounts that adorn it. These mounts feature intricate details, including floral motifs, scrolling foliage, and possibly allegorical figures, characteristic of the Louis XV style. The clock face, likely made of enamel, is framed by a decorative surround, possibly featuring motifs inspired by Rococo design. The movement is a remarkable feat of horological engineering, boasting an exceptional 12-month power reserve - a truly extraordinary feature. The clock is presented in excellent condition and is sure to be a conversation starter in any setting. Its combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and impressive horological capabilities make it a truly exceptional piece.

"Late 18th Century - Kinable A Paris" Along a winding dirt path, the blind Belisarius carries his young guide. The boy has been bitten by a snake, which remains coiled around his bleeding leg. With his right arm wrapped limply around Belisarius's neck and his eyes closed, the youth balances precariously between life and death. Belisarius's eyes are also closed, but guided by his stick he moves forward with determination and purpose. He rises heroically against the spectacular sunset, a monumental figure creating a powerful outline against the sky. But the flaring sunset also signals a chill night and the uncertainty of the path ahead. Belisarius was a popular Byzantine general of the Roman Empire whose promising career was sabotaged by the jealous Emperor Justinian I. In 1767, a novel by Jean-François Marmontel revived interest in Belisarius. In Marmontel's novel, the emperor has the heroic general blinded, reducing Belisarius to begging. He is eventually rediscovered and aided by former officers and his family. This dramatic tale of patriotism, injustice, and redemption was widely embraced in revolutionary and post-revolutionary France and was a popular subject for artists--including Jacques-Louis David (François Gérard...
