About the Item

Rare Louis XVI style clock, Giltbronze and blue enamel, by Louis-Auguste-Alfred Beurdeley, signed inside the bronze mounts, movement signed by Ch Leroy, Paris France, circa 1850-1860 The Beurdeley family was one of the most important dynasties of furniture manufacturers in the 19th century. They brought their art to a level of skill rarely equaled. They worked for three generations from 1818-1895. The Beurdeley family is particularly renowned for the quality of their gilt bronze mounts and the choice of precious materials for the decoration of their furniture and works of art. The systematic use of mercury gilding and the quality of the carving allowed them to perpetuate the tradition of excellence of the 18th century. The founder of the dynasty, Jean Beurdeley, settled in Paris in 1804. He created a modest company there and slowly built his reputation. It was located at 355 rue Saint Honoré in 1818 and at 364 rue Saint Honoré from 1820-1839. In 1839, it occupied the prestigious Pavillon de Hanovre at the corner of rue Louis-le-Grand and Boulevard des Italiens. His son, Louis-Auguste-Alfred Beurdeley, will experience fame and honors. He is the manufacturer of our clock. He took over the paternal business in 1840. In addition to trading furniture, works of art and paintings, he opened a restoration workshop which would be the starting point for the manufacturing workshop. He continued his father's work at the Hanover Pavilion where he created furniture, mainly inspired by the Louis XVI style. He was one of the most talented creators of the second half of the 19th century, excelling in both bronze and cabinetmaking. Under the Second Empire, he became one of the main suppliers of the Imperial Furniture Guard, he received orders from Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie, notably on the occasion of their marriage, and supplied the royal houses of Europe. He participated in the Universal Exhibitions in Paris in 1855 and 1867 where he received numerous distinctions. Alfred-Emmanuel-Louis Beurdeley, worked with his father, then succeeded him in 1875. Specializing only in the manufacture of luxury furniture copied from the beautiful antique furniture of Mobilier National, he excelled in this discipline. He made very few original pieces of furniture. Still installed at the Hanover Pavilion, he opens workshops at 20 and 24, rue Dautancourt. The activity continued in the same spirit until 1895.
