French Great Wheel Skeleton Clock

This important glass-fronted French Empire great wheel skeleton clock has the remarkable ability to run with incredible accuracy for more than a week on a single winding.

The clock is further distinguished by the inclusion of a concentric calendar dial and Roman numeral chapter ring set amidst a stunning floral halo of gilt bronze fretwork, all mounted on a bronze-wrapped marble base.

Pendulum Borne in Gilt Bronze, Allegory of the Goddess Hera, Period Restoration
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Sublime pendulum in gilded bronze, the mercury gilding is original.
The dial is white enamelled and the hours are written in Roman numerals.
Period: Restoration
Dimensions: Height: 48.5cm x Length: 34.5cm x Depth: 12.5cm
Original mechanism without modification.
Overhauled by a watchmaker and in perfect working order.
A bollard-type model, it represents the myth of the Goddess Hera skillfully staged. Hera is the protective goddess par excellence of women and the goddess of legitimate marriage, guardian of the fertility of the couple and of women in childbirth.
Here we are in the presence of a scepter or figure two alliances, feminine and masculine entwined, symbolizing the legitimate union of marriage.
No veil for our beautiful goddess but an amphora filled with water, a reference once again to the history of our goddess where each year we celebrated the hierogamy, the sacred marriage of Hera and Zeus, which marked the renewal vegetation.
Hera regained her virginity in the living waters of springs and rivers.
Beneath the dial, a magnificent peacock is revealed, the favorite animal of our Greek divinity Hera, wife of Zeus.
According to Greek mythology the “eyes” visible on the tail of the peacock were placed there by Hera to commemorate her faithful guardian, Argos, who had a hundred eyes (Ovid I, 625).
According to legend, Argos was hired by Hera, jealous of Io, one of the nymphs courted by her husband Zeus, whom she suspected of adultery.
She transformed the young woman into a heifer and entrusted her guardianship to the giant to spy on her husband.
Argos possessed a hundred eyes and kept fifty of them open which constantly watched...

Mercury gilded bronze, alt. cm 59.5 x 40.5 x 13
Signed in the quadrant "Sezille Palais Royal Nº 133 à Paris"
Akin to the prevailing taste of the Napoleonic era that envisaged a return to antiquity, the Empire Style was used for the decoration of furniture, architectural structures, furnishings, wall hangings and fabrics. The style envisaged a classical return to order, embellished by the antiquarian whimsy inspired by the recent archaeological discoveries at Herculaneum and Pompeii: the constant Roman and Hellenistic remembrance was celebrated through applications depicting laurel or oak garlands, imperial symbolism, mythological figures, sphinxes, muses, personifications and more.
This watch organises the mechanical case on a parallelepiped supporting structure, subdivided into two parts connected by a sinuous greek decoration with flowers; the whole structure rests on the plane by means of convex feet decorated with a dense network of small flowers inscribed within a modular rhombus, culminating, in the attachment to the central body of the watch, with a theory of palmettes. The upper part of the parallelepiped body, inscribed with mythological figuration like the ancient stelae, encloses the latter with a frame of stylised palm leaves interspersed with discs of flowers, in turn accompanied, on the two vertical sides, by a lively vegetal triumph. Considering the iconographic range used by the bronzeworkers for the decoration of the clocks, it is possible to recognise in the mythological scene depicted the muse of poetry and music, Calliope, accompanied by the attributes of the lyre and the laurel branch, used to pay homage to poets. The two winged geniuses in front of her carry scrolls and plates on which to engrave the verses the muse dictates daily to men; the reward for human intellect is emphasised by the two similar crowns the muse holds in her hands, depicting a serpent biting its tail. This symbol, which the mediaeval era would borrow from the Hellenistic-Roman environment of Gnosticism by creating the figure of the uroboros, metaphorically manifests the purpose of the clock, being used to personify the eternal return of time and the cyclical nature of the material life of men.
The case of the watch is enclosed in a zither, which is flanked by a woman crowned with laurel; the upper part has two griffin heads in correspondence with the arms of the zither, and a second female face crowned with a ring of petals/rays, again alluding to the sublime elevation of poetry. On the right side of the instrument rests a lighted torch accompanied by an extinguished upside-down torch, an allusion to present well-being, victorious over the failings of life, to which the bust of a philosopher in a disc also alludes. The dial has a porcelain ring while the hands are Breuguet. Mechanism with "anchor" escapement with silk-wire pendulum and chime...
