About the Item

This mid century mantel clock is of exceptional quality, housed in a gilt and enamel case the blue enamelling flecked with gold imitate lapis lazuli. The eight day movement with platform escapement strikes on a bell, made audible through a beautifully pierced and engraved sound vent backed in yellow silk. The gilt roman dial has a pierced centre with renaissance style grotesques the brushed finish of which contrasts with the polished gilding behind. Dating from the 1960’s this clock is in exceptional near mint condition. These clocks were retailed by some of the most highly regarded jewellers of the 20th century including Asprey’s in London and Tiffany’s in New York. Other identical examples have been found signed by Cartier who presumably bought the model from Luxor. This is a flamboyant example of mid 20th century design and craftsmanship. Please note this clock requires servicing before it can be shipped.

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. He exhibited a small skeleton alarm at the 1851 Great exhibition at Crystal Palace of which this may well be a version. 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.
