About the Item

A beautiful and most attractive French early 19th century Neo-Classical st. white Carrara, Rouge Griotte marble and Ormolu clock, attributed to Étienne Maurice Falconet. This wonderful mantel clock is raised on a rectangular Rouge Griotte marble base with a foliate decorated Ormolu band atop while being supported on four Ormolu bun feet in each corner. Above the marble base is a white Carrara marble maiden with a loose fitting garment wrapped around her shoulder a waist as she sits atop a rock with flowing water running off the edge. Within the center of the rock is the circular enameled clock face containing black Roman numerals and 'Mesnil å Paris' in the center, as well as pierced scrolling hands. The clock face opens and reveals a highly detailed Coeur-de-Rai and beaded Ormolu band. The rear of this clock opens to reveal its original hardware, which are all in working order. Étienne-Maurice Falconet (1716-1791) is among the highest rank of French Rococo sculptors, whose patron was Mme de Pompadour. Falconet attended l'Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1754. He was appointed as the director of sculpture at the Manufacture Royale de Porcelaine at Sèvres, until he was invited to Russia by Catherine the Great in 1766. In 1788 he returned to Paris and became director of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Many of Falconet's religious works, commissioned for churches, were destroyed at the time of the French Revolution.
