An impressive French astronomical centerpiece table clock, circa 1880
About
This very unusual hexagonal ormulu mounted and mahogany tableclock is decorated in honour of the astrology with 6 famous scientists. It was manufactured in the well-known workshop of Planchon, Paris. On the top we find the celestial map with all the heavenly bodies, not connected with the movement. It is mounted on a wooden base. The movement is mounted between six pillars with Arabic infuenced panels and has going and striking work, 8-day duration. Planchon is very famous for his high quality clock cases. Mathieu Planchon apprenticed with his father, served several years with other clockmakers including Robert-Houdin and then went into business for himself eventually opening his shop at the Palais Royal in 1890. He was a skilled maker who was influenced by both earlier decorative trends and the ingenious clocks originally designed by Nicolas Grollier De Servierè that were illustrated in DeServierè’s catalog .Details
