A Louis XVI Style Gilt and Patinated Bronze and Marble Clock Garniture
About the Item
A Louis XVI Style Gilt and Patinated Bronze and Marble Clock Garniture, Comprising a 'Pendule à Cercles Tournants' Modelled with the Three Graces and a Pair of Cherub Four-Light Candelabra, By Jollet & Cie.
Each stamped with cachet 'JOLLET & CIE / BRONZE PARIS ANC. MON COLIN'. The clock movement stamped ‘A C’ within a circle.
The clock is modelled with The Three Graces draped with floral garlands and holding aloft a blue tole sphere. The sphere contains the clock workings which drive a rotating chapter ring enamelled with Roman numerals. The figures stand on a white marble tripartite plinth, the frieze of which is set with pierced gilt-bronze anthemion scrollwork. The plinth is raised on toupie feet. The candelabra are modelled en suite with cherubs holding cornucopias issuing a central nozzle surround by three lights.
France, Circa 1890.
The Louis XVI antecedent of this model is not known but it was popularly produced in the nineteenth century by different Parisien makers. An example with gilded bronze figures is in the Violet Room at the Château de Chantilly and described as dating to Circa 1775. However Camille Mestdagh has identified that the clock was delivered by Maison Beurdeley to the Duc d’Aumale for his château of Chantilly.
The design can be credited to the sculptor Claude Michel Clodion (1738 –1814) with comparison to a related figural clock known as ‘The Dance of Time’ which has three nymphs supporting a glass sphere. This clock has also been compared to the Three Graces clock designed by the fondeur François Vion, a drawing of which is reproduced in an album of designs now conserved in the Bibliothèque Doucet, Paris (VI E 15, Rés.fol.20/1). Described as ‘Le temps qui passe entre l’amour et les Grâces’, an example can be seen at the château de Fontainebleau (Inv.F918 C).
In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the model is recorded to have been made by Henry Dasson, Maison Beurdeley and, as here, Jollet & Cie.
