A French Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted White Marble Clock by Denière

About the Item

A Louis XVI Style Ormolu-Mounted White Marble Clock In the form of a fluted column, the circular enamel dial with Arabic chapters and pierced lyre and fleur-de-lys shaped giltmetal hands within a rope-twist bezel and glazed door sur-rounded by laurel and foliate swags, surmounted by a putto , the column base with a bas relief of playing putti, on a beaded square plinth and turned feet. The dial signed “Denière Ft de Bronzes” Circa 1860 After an XVIIIth Century model by Festeau le Jeune The signature “Denière” or “Denière Fabt de Bronzes à Paris” corresponds to Jean-François Denière (1774-1866), one of the most important bronze makers of the last years of the 18th century and the first decades of the following century. In the space of a few years, he became one of the most important suppliers of furniture bronzes by working for the Impe-rial Furniture Store; at the same time, he built up a wealthy private clientele and founded, until 1820, an association with François-Thomas Matelin which allowed him to participate in the decoration of most of the imperial palaces and castles by delivering furniture bronzes and clocks by some of their fellow bronze makers.
