About the Item

This exceptional mantel clock was crafted by Jean-Baptiste Baillon III, one of the most renowned and innovative horologists of his era. Baillon served an elite clientele, including the French and Spanish royal families, members of the court, and the most prominent figures of Parisian society. This authentic antique French clock is an exquisite example of 18th-century craftsmanship, featuring finely chiseled and gilded bronze elements. The dial is elegantly designed with outer Arabic numerals and inner Roman numerals, complemented by a pair of intricately pierced gilt brass hands. Flanking the clock is a tall, graceful figurine of a woman, symbolizing knowledge and creativity, holding a book in one hand and a feather quill in the other. Beside her stands a child draped in classical attire, standing on books and holding a paper scroll, evoking themes of learning and enlightenment. The composition is set on a pristine white marble base, adorned with intricate details and supported by four finely crafted spinning feet. This timepiece is a true masterpiece, embodying the sophistication and artistry of 18th-century French design.
