Jules BRATEAU, Four-Sided Clock On A High Base, 1900

About the Item

Made in 1900, our clock is a major work by sculptor and goldsmith Jules Brateau. This renowned craftsman won several medals at world's fairs. Jules Paul Brateau (1844-1923) was a goldsmith, jeweller and pewter potter. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris before working with a number of jewellers. From 1878 onwards, he devoted himself to pewter goldsmithing, which he worked hard to revive. He was awarded a silver medal at the 1878 Universal Exhibition and a gold medal at the 1889 Universal Exhibition, and was a member of the jury at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. Mounted on a central foot, the clock has four finely decorated and chiseled faces. The decoration, in low relief, is a tribute to the artists of the Italian and French Renaissance. The foliage, for their part, is in the spirit of Art Nouveau fashion. Under the copper-colored dial, representing a silver sun, a winged adolescent rests near a fire. The iconography is rich in symbols. On one side of the clock, a winged woman, holding a cornucopia, rides the wheel of time or destiny. On the back of the clock, Adam and Eve are depicted. The original couple echoes the snake adorning the central foot, made of a sunflower branch resting on a blooming carnation. Emerging from a rich plant decor, a Latin inscription means “Let the happy hours be numbered in full”. Four examples of this clock are known to date, their decorations have some variations. One of them is kept in a private collection. Its blue enamelled dial, the color of the sky, is decorated with a golden sun. Celebrated in the press, our clock was reproduced in the magazine Art et Decoration in July 1900.

Equestrian statue of William I and two candelabras with halberdiers

By Count Alfred Émilien O'Hara van Nieuwerkerke

Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR

Mantel garniture with clock and pair of candelabras in brown patinated bronze on Statuary marble and gilt bronze pedestals. Equestrian statue signed and dated : « E de Nieuwerkerke 1843 » on the base and bronze caster's mark « Susse Edt » Dimensions of the clock : H. 84 cm (33”1/16) x W. 46,5 cm (18”5/16) x D. 24,5 cm (9”11/16) Dimensions of the candelabras : H. 90,5 cm (35”5/8) x W. 25 cm (9”7/8) x D. 25 cm (9”7/8) At the “Salon des Artistes Français” in 1843, the young Count Alfred Emile de Nieuwerkerke (1811-1892), then aged 32, presented a plaster equestrian statue entitled William I, known as the Taciturn, Prince of Orange. A great nineteenth-century sculptor, Émile de Nieuwerkerke is best known for having been Head Director of the Museums since 1849, and probably the most influential man on cultural policy in France until the end of the Second Empire. Nieuwerkerke's fervor for art began when he became passionate for sculpture, at the age of 23, and took classes with the great James Pradier and Baron Carlo Marochetti. His connections allow him to realize official commissions, including the busts of the Empress Eugenie and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. The Count de Nieuwerkerke made a name for himself at the 1838 Salon with the exhibition of the group The Death of the Duke of Clarence that really launched his career. Having been a pupil of Carlo Marochetti, a sculptor of Italian origin, the young Nieuwerkerke can only be strongly impressed by the equestrian statue of the Monument to Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy created by the master between 1833 and 1838 and adorning the Piazza San Carlo of Turin in Italy. There is no doubt that this monumental statue...
