About the Item

They stand on a naturalistic terrasse signed A. Carrier, on a raising fluted octagonal base of red specimen marble. The dial white enamel on copper with finely cut and blued, steel hands.

We have a video of the clock running, please ask and we will send it to you. Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, 1824 - 1887, was one of the most important sculptors of the 19th century. He studied briefly at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and debuted at the Salon of 1850 with two bronze medals. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Carrier-Belleuse had a career that expanded beyond France, between 1850-1855, he worked at Mintons, in England. Then on 1871, he worked in Brussels as well as at Sevres. His most famous assistant was Auguste Rodin, who worked alongside Carrier-Belleuse from 1864-1870. During his time in Brussels, the pair worked on Carrier-Belleuse's sculpture at the Brussels Stock Exchange. Pierre Kjellberg, Bronzes of the 19th Century.
