About the Item

Table clock. Ormolu. Signed Dumont, Paris, France, 19th century. Table clock with white dial, Roman numerals for hours and vertical lines for minutes, golden bronze hands and signature in black letters (Dumont à Paris). The body has small legs that raise it slightly, decorated with moldings of different widths and diameters. On these rises a pedestal formed by two parts (the lower one larger than the upper one), decorated with a series of scenes in relief, in addition to two burning hearts crossed by two arrows and surrounded by a garland of flowers, and vegetable palmettes . On the sphere is a winged male figure, young, holding a branch in one of his hands and a stick with leaves and fruits in the other, a quiver with arrows on his back, a short sword hanging from his waist and presents a series of objects (helmet) at your feet. In that staggered base, the reliefs show several mythological figurative themes: Apollo punishing Marsyas for challenging him by playing the aulos; two faucets flanking a center of leaves and other elements; two ladies before a man sitting in what a temple could (perhaps Diogenes); a cortege of putti playing trunks and pushing a cart pulled by lions in which Cupid appears seated. The identity of the figure sitting on the top of the table clock is related to classical mythology, given the aesthetics of the piece and the relief decoration of the front. Clearly, it is not the Archangel San Miguel, it could be an Allegory of the Summer (by the branch that shows), of a Wind, or some minor divinity of the Roman pantheon. This theme, of classic influence but centered on the characters that do not star in the great myths or the best known moments, was common in the decorative arts of the 19th century. Exception to this norm, in the present case, would be the punishment of Marsyas, a little habitual subject given the nature of the same one, considered little suitable for an interior, since priority was always given to the decorum. In Europe it was the adoption and improvement of the pendulum in the 17th century that changed the evolution of clocks in a radical way. From that moment, a technological evolution began that led the English and French watchmaking masters to be the most valued in the following centuries. The second ones were recognized and appreciated by the figures and the luxurious materials with which the boxes were decorated and, thanks to the technical advances made in the country, also by the quality of the mechanisms. As for the use of gilded bronze, this material played a leading role in the decoration of French interiors, especially from the end of the 17th century until the 19th century. Its quality was due, above all, to a high degree of specialization of the workshops responsible for its production and a rigid system of rules that regulated the two guilds that had the exclusivity of this material: that of "fondeurs-ciseleurs" (smelters and chisels) and that of "ciseleurs-doreurs" (smelters and gilders)."

Garniture, clock and candelabra. Bronze, porcelain. France, 19th century.

Located in Madrid, ES

Garnish with clock and candelabra in porcelain and gilt bronze. France, 19th century. Mechanism in perfect working order. Fireplace garnish composed of a clock and two five-light candelabras, all three pieces made by combining gilt bronze, with relief elements and round bulges and cold-chiseled details, and porcelain decorated with low-temperature enamels, including gold enamel. The porcelain pieces follow models from the Sèvres National Manufacture of the 18th century, with large pictorial cartouches on a cobalt blue background adorned with golden plant motifs. The set follows a historicist design that combines baroque and neoclassical elements with enamelled scenes of Rococo inspiration, representing landscapes and scenes with mythological themes alluding to the arts and the goddess Venus. The clockwork is stamped “Chles. MT”, with serial number 17420. The main glazed porcelain plates are signed DP Boncher. The clock follows an architectural structure, with an oval base with a prominent front in plan, raised on four molded feet in the shape of a top, on which a large ornamental vase is placed. This plinth has a distinct pinto and, above it, a main body as a façade, with a circular pediment that houses the clock face. This includes black enamelled Roman numerals on white medallions with a gold border, arranged around the central representation of a putti reclining among clouds, holding a floral garland and accompanied by musical instruments. Among the medallions that house the numbers, a small jeweled decoration that evokes pearls and embedded rubies, which is echoed in the secondary areas of the body of the piece and also the vase, always combined with delicate golden filigrees. On both sides of the sphere are two female portraits of ladies from the 18th century, in oval frames. Below, a classically inspired scene with a muse holding musical instruments, probably Euterpe or Erató, accompanied by a putti reading a sheet of music. On the sides of the clock body, two large curved rectangular plates house highly pictorial enameled landscapes, worked with the same miniaturist precision as the rest of the enameled cartouches. These are landscapes of romantic heritage, again inspired by the 18th century, with ideal settings for a twilight atmosphere, featuring classical ruins. The vase that tops the body of the clock has a hemispherical tank, shoulders ending in an edge, an openwork truncated conical neck, which opens smoothly towards the shoulders, and a domed lid, also openwork. The handles are figurative, in bronze, with two female sisters crowned with flowers, of clear Greco-Latin inspiration, worked in a round shape. In the tank, the vase houses two enameled porcelain cartouches, the front one with two putti and a dove - a symbolic allusion to Venus - and the back one with musical instruments. The design of the clock is completed by two thick bronze S-shaped plant braces, under the vase, and counter moldings and plant motifs cast in relief and cold chiseled, combining matte and polished finishes. The candelabras follow a similar design, with large vases of neoclassical design on pedestals, in this case cylindrical, raised on four low feet of turned design. The bases house porcelain cartouches with scenes of putti related to the arts; In one of them we see two putti practicing painting, and in the other two others in a scene related to classical lyric poetry, with one putto writing while the other, holding a lyre, raises a laurel wreath above his head. The cartouches that occupy the front of the candelabra vases...
