Late 19th Century Porcelain Clock by Jacob Petit

About the Item

We present you this unique porcelain clock, crafted by Jacob Petit in the style of Louis XV during the Napoleon III era. It bears the signature 'JP', standing for Jacob Petit, on its base and inside the clock, reflecting the artist's renowned commitment to producing exceptional pieces. The clock is adorned with a floral pattern against a violet backdrop, enriched by an abundance of elegant gold embellishments. The clock face is endorsed by a Parisian clockmaker, and its inner workings date back to the late 19th century. Jacob Petit (1797-1868) was a French ceramist from Paris. His name is now synonymous with the uniqueness of his creations. Abundant and varied, once considered overly extravagant and in poor taste, his designs are now some of the most sought after items for their originality, the quality of their craftsmanship, and the richness of their polychrome designs.

  • 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...
