Ormolu Mantel Clock By Raingo Freres, Paris

About the Item

This charming 19th Century mantle clock has an 8 day movement striking on a bell, with a crisp white roman enamel dial with blued steel trefoil hands. The Movement is signed as is the dial and numbered 582. This number is repeated throughout the case and on the accompanying gilt wood stand, a remarkable survival considering this clock dates from the 1860’s. The ormolu case retains its original mercury gilding in almost pristine condition, as well as the wonderful handmade porcelain flowers, that scintillate on gilded wires interspersed with gilded strawberry leaves. The flowers were almost certainly supplied by the Sevre factory. The gilding on the case has been further enhanced by Burnishing and chasing the surface, giving a pleasing tonal change from highly polished to matt in a rococo revival style. Raingo Frères started with Zacharie Joseph Raingo (1775-1847). Born in Belgium in 1775, Zacharie Joseph Raingo made astronomical clocks, and example, a planetary pendulum clock made in 1824, was purchased by King George IV of England and is now housed in Windsor Castle. Zacharie Joseph Raingo had four sons, Adolphe, Charles, Denis and Dorsant, and together they formed Raingo Frères in 1823. In the 1860s, the firm supplied several clocks and bronzes to Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Empress Eugenie, which now form part of the collection at the Musée du Louvre. Such commissions enhanced the reputation of Raingo Frères, which became internationally recognized for the very fine quality of their bronzes and gilding. As the reputation of the firm grew, they collaborated with other famed makers of the times including Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, Auguste Moreau and François Linke. The firm exhibited at the most important Exhibitions of the second half of the 19th century, winning a gold award at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. This clock is a fine example of both their clockmaking, bronze casting and gilding work, surviving in near mint condition for the last 180 years. This clock is shown unserviced and will come with our 2 year guarantee, please note that delivery times may be longer than expected due to servicing, please enquire before purchasing.

By Victor Athanase Pierret

Located in Amersham, GB

A miniature French skeleton clock with silk suspension and eight day movement, dating from the mid 19th century, with original glass dome on an ebonised and brass inlayed base with enamel dial. This clock was made by Victor Athanase Pierret whose distinctive VAP mark in an oval is stamped on the base of this clock.

Victor-Athanase Pierret (1806 - 1893) Victor-Athanse Pierret was born 1806 in Bucy-les-Pierrepont. He began his five year apprenticeship with Rolin at the age of 13. Later he moved to Paris and settled in the Rue des Bons-Enfants no. 21 when he was 24. Pierret created pendulum clocks with and without calender indicator, cases for ship’s chronometers, chronometer escapements with temperature compensation and night light clocks with pendulum. At the London Exhibition of 1851 he presented an alarm clock and a pendulum clock with a globe. In 1853 Pierret applied for a patent for a new date indication device, in 1855 he patented an 8-day power reserve movement. Pierret created his own watchmaking tools...
