Beautiful pendule made by: Louis-François-Amable Molliens who was a clockmaker whose workshop was recorded as being, successively, in the rue Saint-Honoré around 1800, then in the passage du Grand-Cerf between 1806 and 1815 (see Tardy, Dictionnaire des horlogers français, Paris, 1971, p. 469) This model is rare because of the strong facade and looking at the base you see detailed gilded relief showing 4 cupids with different disciplines heating up the fire for activating the symbol of a burning heart. On both sides two Egyptian inspired caryatides. And on top a cupid heating up the fire. The enabled dial is typical LOUIS XVI with Arabic numbers and blue written signature. It has a 8 day bell striking movement, silk threat suspension and anchor escapement.
