About the Item

This French Louis XV ormolu bronze clock, crafted by Etienne Le Noir A Paris in the 18th century, is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship. The metal dial, featuring a blend of Roman and Arabic numerals, proudly bears the mark of Etienne Le Noir A Paris. Its single barrel movement, uniquely numbered 6-9 and 529B, is a testament to the precision and individuality of this timepiece. For maintenance and winding, a key for the back plate is thoughtfully included, underscoring its functional elegance. This clock stands as both a work of art and a functional piece of history, embodying the refinement and sophistication of the Louis XV era. Etienne I Le Noir, or Lenoir, indeed held a significant position among Parisian clockmakers during the reign of Louis XIV and the early years of the 18th century. Born to clockmaker Simon Le Noir and Marie du Grand-Mesnil, he received his training in his father’s workshop. Achieving master status on January 14, 1698, he established his own workshop in prestigious locations such as the Place Dauphine and the rue de Harlay. His reputation soared within influential circles, earning acclaim among esteemed Parisian collectors passionate about luxury horology. Etienne I Le Noir's mastery and skill in crafting timepieces contributed to his enduring legacy, solidifying his place as a revered figure among the horological artisans of his time.

18th Century Clock, Baillon in Paris

Located in Warsaw, PL

This is a unique, authentic antique French table or mantel clock. It is in finely chiseled and gilded bronze. The dial with outer Arabic numerals and inner Roman numerals and a fine pair of pierced gilt brass hands for the hours and minutes. Next to the clock is a tall lady figurine, accompanied by a child. The woman is holding a book in her right hand and a feather pen in her left hand. On the other side, the child draped in the Antique is standing on books and holding a paper. The white marble base rests on four small spinning feet. This clock was made by Jean-Baptiste Baillon III, one of the most skilled and innovative makers of his day. Baillon achieved almost unprecedented success to become “the richest watchmaker in Europe” - F.J. Britten. He was also one of the most important clockmakers of the eighteenth century and undoubtedly the most famous member of a long line of clockmakers. His success was largely due to his ability to organise a vast and thriving private factory in Saint-Germain-en-Laye which was unique in the history of eighteenth century clockmaking. The renowned horologist, Ferdinand Berthoud was among many to be impressed by its scale and quality and in 1753 noted that Baillon’s “house is the finest and richest Clock Shop. Diamonds are used not only to decorate his Watches but even Clocks. He has made some whose cases were small gold boxes...
