About the Item

Very large Louis XV style gilt bronze mantel clock by Beurdeley French, circa 1880 Measures: Height 102cm, width 48cm, depth 29cm This very large mantel clock is a magnificent example of 19th century French decorative art by one of its very best practitioners: Beurdeley. The clock, wrought from gilt bronze, is designed in the ornate Louis XV manner. The clock stands on four foliate feet, each culminating in a bust, while the case’s rounded top is set to the centre with an elaborate crown topped by Cupid and mounted to the sides with ram’s heads. The circular gilt bronze dial features inset enamel cartouches, while the lower section of the case is mounted with a purely sculptural figure of a woman borne aloft. The gilt bronze throughout is of exceptional quality, with fine casting and chasing evident at every moment. The piece is a superb example of the work of Beurdeley. An enamel plaque set below the dial is signed ‘A. Beurdeley / Paris,’ while the gilt bronze is stamped ‘B Y’. The movement is signed ‘J. Lefebvre Fils / Paris.’

Antique 19th Century French Regency Style Gilt Bronze Clock, Thuret A Paris
Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent
A Monumental 19th Century Regency Style Gilt-Bronze Inlaid Grand Cartel de Applique, In the Manner of André-Charles Boulle. This impressive and large cartel clock has a circular, arabesque chased, brass dial with Roman numerals on enamelled cartouches, with engraved seconds and steel hands. The rear of the clock is open cased. The dial sits within a waisted case, with large acanthus mounted gilt-bronze volutes, surmounted by a palmette mascaron and a figure of Jupiter as a child and an enamel cartouche signed ‘Thuret A PARIS’. It is supported on large foliate mounted scrolls and decorated to the sides with Boulle marquetry panels and lion mask mounts. An eighteenth-century version of this clock by ‘Mynuel A Paris’ (Maitre 1720) is illustrated by Tardy in ‘La Pendule Francaise’, 1ere partie, p. 141. Initially conceived by C. Cressent, the design was further refined by A.C. Boulle before being embraced by J.J. de Saint-Germain. The earliest examples of this distinctive style bear the signature of clockmaker J. III Thuret. Only a handful of identical specimens of this model are known to exist. One such identical piece resides in the Frick Collection in New York, originating from the Dalva Brothers...
