Rococo Clocks

ROCOCO STYLE

Rococo was an aesthetic movement in the fine and decorative arts in the 18th century that found its inspiration in nature and fostered an overall lightness and delicacy of form, construction and ornament in interior design. Rococo furniture, while greatly influenced by trends in Italy and Germany, is often called Louis XV style — the movement having reached its best expression during that sybaritic French king’s reign.

The term “rococo” is thought to be a portmanteau of the French words rocaille and coquilles — “rock” and “shells” — organic motifs frequently used in architecture and design of the style.

When it comes to authentic Rococo furniture's characteristics, it is above all sensuous and social. The furniture of earlier eras in Europe had been heavy in every sense; the Rococo period saw the appearance of light-framed upholstered armchairs, side chairs and occasional tables that could easily be moved to form conversational circles.

The signal detail of Rococo furniture design is the gently curved cabriole, or S-shaped chair-, table-, and cabinet-leg. It imitates the bend of a tree limb or a flower stem. In a further reference to nature, furnishings were often asymmetrical and painted white, or in soft, pastel shades. Rococo has become a timeless style, and as the furniture pieces presented on 1stDibs demonstrate, its playful, sculptural forms can provide visual excitement to contemporary, clean-lined spaces.

Large Ormolu and Sèvres Porcelain Rococo Antique Clock Set
By Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, A.D. Mougin
Located in Belper, Derbyshire
A large and beautiful antique French Rococo clock set circa 1900. Beautifully made in finely gilded bronze and mounted with exquisite Sèvres style porcelain. Porcelain has a white ground with panels delicately painted with scenes. The urn shows an idyllic country cottage and below the dial the panel shows the cottage interior. Candelabra have urns with scenes of rural life with scenes in panels in the bases. The case is of a waisted design with profuse, twirling acanthus decoration. The dial is also porcelain with a charming cherub amongst the clouds and a basket of flowers. It is complete with it's original finely fretted gilt brass hands. Candelabra have their original snuffers, these sit in the central nozzles as finials when candelabra are not in use. The French movement is by A. D. Mougin and is of the maker's usual high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We can send you a video of the clock running, please ask. Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean, bright and crisp. The porcelain is also in excellent condition, some slight wear to the over glaze gilt decoration, very occasional marks and discolouration and a couple of nibbles to the top of the candelabra urns...
