About the Item

Antique Samson porcelain and ormolu Chinoiserie elephant clock French, Late 19th Century Height 24cm, width 17cm, depth 13cm This exquisite and delicate clock typifies the European fascination in the 19th century with Chinese art and Orientalist themes. Crafted by the French factory of Samson et Cie, it portrays a charming elephant figure carrying a clock on its back. The circular clock dial is bordered with asymmetric ormolu, styled as acanthus leaves, and features a white dial and black Arabic numerals on the face. The clock hands are made from pierced, intricate ormolu. The white porcelain elephant wears a red saddle depicting Chinese figures amongst foliage. The clock mechanism is encased in a further Samson porcelain piece, too painted with nature inspired Chinoiserie motifs. The piece is set upon an ormolu base in the asymmetric Rococo style, formed of C-scrolls and acanthus leaf motifs. The porcelain clock casing features a red porcelain maker’s mark to the rear. Combining several design styles and manufacturing techniques, this charming mantel clock would make a superb décor piece in the appropriate setting.

Porcelain Clock in the Louis XV Style by Jacob Petit

By Jacob Petit

Located in London, GB

This 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...
