Large Gilt Bronze Portico Clock, Restoration Period
About the Item
Large gilt bronze portico regulator clock from the Restauration period. It takes the form of an antique architecture with four smooth Corinthian columns with acanthus leaf capitals. The facade features rose, rosette and palmette motifs. The base and top are decorated with acanthus leaf friezes. The silvered dial, surrounded by a crown of leaves, shows the hours in Roman numerals. The clock is shaped like a nine-stringed lyre ending in a large rose. The clock stands on a rectangular base with four small feet decorated with acanthus leaves. The original movement is numbered 26367 and signed "LEPINE à Paris". This clock strikes the hours and half hours.
The house of Lepine was located at Place des Victoires in Paris. Founded by Jean-Antoine Lepine (1762-1814), it produced mechanisms that revolutionised the field of watchmaking. He became the watchmaker of King Louis XV in 1765. The house was taken over by his son-in-law Claude-Pierre Raguet, known as Lépine, who died before him. When Jean-Antoine died, his grandson sold the house, but the following owners kept the name Lepine until the 1920s.

- Pendulum Borne in Gilt Bronze, Allegory of the Goddess Hera, Period RestorationLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRSublime pendulum in gilded bronze, the mercury gilding is original. The dial is white enamelled and the hours are written in Roman numerals. Period: Restoration Dimensions: Height: 48.5cm x Length: 34.5cm x Depth: 12.5cm Original mechanism without modification. Overhauled by a watchmaker and in perfect working order. A bollard-type model, it represents the myth of the Goddess Hera skillfully staged. Hera is the protective goddess par excellence of women and the goddess of legitimate marriage, guardian of the fertility of the couple and of women in childbirth. Here we are in the presence of a scepter or figure two alliances, feminine and masculine entwined, symbolizing the legitimate union of marriage. No veil for our beautiful goddess but an amphora filled with water, a reference once again to the history of our goddess where each year we celebrated the hierogamy, the sacred marriage of Hera and Zeus, which marked the renewal vegetation. Hera regained her virginity in the living waters of springs and rivers. Beneath the dial, a magnificent peacock is revealed, the favorite animal of our Greek divinity Hera, wife of Zeus. According to Greek mythology the “eyes” visible on the tail of the peacock were placed there by Hera to commemorate her faithful guardian, Argos, who had a hundred eyes (Ovid I, 625). According to legend, Argos was hired by Hera, jealous of Io, one of the nymphs courted by her husband Zeus, whom she suspected of adultery. She transformed the young woman into a heifer and entrusted her guardianship to the giant to spy on her husband. Argos possessed a hundred eyes and kept fifty of them open which constantly watched...Category
