French 19th century Louis XVI st. Bronze, Ormolu and Marble Clock, by Denière

About the Item

A superb and high quality French 19th century Louis XVI st. patinated Bronze, Ormolu and Rouge Griotte marble clock, by Jean Francois Denière. This stunning clock is raised by four Ormolu topie shaped feet supporting a square block of Rouge Griotte marble decorated with large scale Ormolu berried laurel and ribbon twist bands. Above is a finely chased Ormolu socle leading up to a marble fluted column adorned with swaging floral garlands and delicate chandelles. Sitting on the top of the column is a patinated Bronze cherub holding the clock's face in one hand and a drumstick in the other. The white clock face displays Arabic numerals for hours, with a separate outer ring of numbers to denote minutes, with extremely delicate and intricately detailed hands showing the signature "Denière, Ft de Bronzes, Paris". Jean François Deninger, also known as Denière, (1774-1866), was a renowned French Bronzier. La Maison Denière was created in 1804 and joined by his son Guilllaume. The father and the son were important decorative bronze manufactures in Paris. Their works appeared at the World Fair in Paris in 1855. DENIERE created many clocks with the famous Jean François Théodore GECHTER (1796-1844). All his clocks were honored for their precision and high quality. Denière received many Royal commissions, including the Tuileries Garden in 1852 and 1854 and the bronze group “Apollon and his Muses”, at the top of Opera Garnier in Paris.
