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.

A Monumental 19th Century Regency Style Gilt-Bronze Inlaid Grand Cartel de Applique, In the Manner of André-Charles Boulle. This impressive and large cartel clock has a circular, arabesque chased, brass dial with Roman numerals on enamelled cartouches, with engraved seconds and steel hands. The rear of the clock is open cased. The dial sits within a waisted case, with large acanthus mounted gilt-bronze volutes, surmounted by a palmette mascaron and a figure of Jupiter as a child and an enamel cartouche signed ‘Thuret A PARIS’. It is supported on large foliate mounted scrolls and decorated to the sides with Boulle marquetry panels and lion mask mounts.

Cressent, the design was further refined by A.C. Boulle before being embraced by J.J. de Saint-Germain. The earliest examples of this distinctive style bear the signature of clockmaker J. III Thuret. Only a handful of identical specimens of this model are known to exist. One such identical piece resides in the Frick Collection in New York, originating from the Dalva Brothers...
