About the Item

Magnificent 18th-century neoclassical-style clock, finely crafted in white marble and gilt bronze. It features a central putto beneath an elegant canopy supported by four columns. This refined model is signed: Le Chopie, à Paris, circa 1785. The circular architectural case is surmounted by a white marble dome and a conical finial atop a stepped, beaded cornice resting on fluted columns. The lower section is adorned with Ionic columns mounted in gilt bronze. The two rotating hour rings are formed from individual enameled plates: the hour ring is adorned with Roman numerals, the minute ring is divided into five Arabic minutes, and the time is indicated by a gilt bronze arrow on the front. The visible movement rests beneath the dials on a star-shaped platform engraved with the maker's name, Lechopie AParis. The visible inverted ticking wheel drives a sunburst pendulum suspended from a silk thread, positioned at the rear. The striking mechanism, with its star-shaped revolution counter, is on the bell. It works. Clock dimensions: height 40 cm, diameter 20 cm Glass globe: height 50 cm, diameter 30 cm A rare, elegant piece steeped in history, ideal for discerning collectors or lovers of ancient art.
