About the Item

French Mantel Clock Paris, circa 1870 Black marble with gilt bronze mounts Dimensions: H × W × D: 41 x 23 x 12 cm Description: Case in black marble with richly chased and gilt bronze decoration. The front is centered by a white enamel dial with Roman numerals and finely worked Louis XV hands, framed by an ornamental bronze bezel. A distinctive feature is the front glass, secured by a bayonet lock. The top is crowned by a finely cast gilt bronze tazza with scrolling handles and foliate ornament. Background: The movement is stamped Établissement Barbot, Paris, a noted Parisian maker active in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the backplate bears the mark Médaille d’or, Japy Frères, referring to the gold medal awarded to this famous French firm at the Paris Exposition of 1855. The presence of these marks indicates a production date around 1870, when such collaborations between Parisian case makers and Japy movements were especially common. Condition: Movement complete and stamped, case with minor age-related wear. Original glass present, fitted with bayonet lock. Unrestored. Requires an overhaul of the movement.

French Empire Ormulu Bronze Mantel Clock, Lepaute, Thomire, Paris, circa 1815
Located in Greven, DE
Ormulu pendule with depiction of friendship and love Paris (Lepaute, Thomire) fire-gilt bronze Empire around 1815 Dimensions: H x W x D: 44 x 36 x 13 cm French pendulum movement with eight days duration. Thread suspension and lock disc striking movement with strike on bell on the half and full hour. White enamel dial with Roman hour numerals and Breguet hands. Signature: LePaute & Fils / Hrl. du Roi (Pierre-Basile Lepaute (1750 - 1843) with his son Pierre-Michel Lepaute (1785-1849); from 1811 in joint workshop). Description: The extremely high quality pendulum shown here takes up a profound theme: Friendship, which combines with love and can thereby outlast time and death. As it is typical for the epoch of classicism, personifications and symbols are taken from the fund of ancient mythology and art and then developed further. The main figure is a young woman in an antique, girded garment, standing barefoot and with crossed legs next to an altar, on which she is leaning with her left elbow. She gracefully bows her head towards a tempestuously approaching Cupid, grasps his right hand with her left and draws him to her bosom, the seat of the heart. The delicate ambivalence of flying towards and being held culminates in the trustingly intimate look that the two cast at each other. The young woman personifies friendship, the winged Cupid love. As a sign of their intimate connection, two burning hearts appear on the altar next to the two, framed by the puffed scarf, which are closely bound together by a chain of flowers. Next to them, on the altar slab, one can see an erected book with the title "Amitie" (French: amitie, friendship). Supporting the book is a pomegranate held by a ring of pomegranate flowers. The bursting seeds spill out of the cracked skin. Since ancient times, the pomegranate and its blossoms have been dedicated to the goddess Persephone, symbolizing the underworld and death, but also life and fertility. The myrtle interwoven in the pomegranate flower wreath of "friendship" also has a far-reaching symbolic power: the plant was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, stands for virginity, and was and is therefore obligatory in the bridal wreath...
