About the Item
18th century, Italian Louis XV wood ringtone and alarm table clock with gilt bronze
This table clock was made in the north of Italy (Genoa) 18th century, Louis XV era. The case, the sides and the top are paved with fine violet’s wood. The interior of the case is paved with a refined game of wood coloring that creates a chessboard surface with hexagonal dowels. The dial is in enamelled metal foil, with Roman numeration for the hours and Arabic numeration for the minuts. The top is surmounted by a gilded bronze sculpture carved in putto style with raised arm.
The lower part of the case is adorned with an application in finely ceselled and gilded bronze that depicts the god Apollo pulling the chariot of the sun. Apollo is a deity of the Greek and Roman religion; God of the Sun (whose chariot he pulls), of all arts, music, prophecy, poetry, medical arts (the god of medicine is in fact his son Asclepius) of pestilence and of science that illuminates the intellect.
The god appears as a young man of extraordinary beauty whose head is surrounded by rays forming his golden hair. He travels through the sky, from east to west, carrying the light with a royal chariot drawn by the four winged horses (Pyride, Eoo, Etone and Flegone), whose names evoke the flame, the fire, the light.
The case is also decorated with gilded bronze applications, finely ceselled in rocaille motifs with vegetable girali. It rests on four feet in gilt bronze with volute motifs.
This clock, with the ringing of hours and quarters, is quite rare as it is also equipped with the alarm function.

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...
