About the Item
This large, gilt bronze wall clock is a magnificent and highly unusual piece. At the centre of the design is a circular enamel dial, with Arabic Numerals, which is set within a gilt bronze case, with a lion’s head at its top, and shield contained within a cartouche at its base. The case is mounted onto pilasters, so it projects forward from the clock body.
The pilasters, which are set onto the arms of the piece, support a tall round arch. The pilasters have ball and trefoil drop-finials and are ornamented with strapwork motifs. The arch is decorated with chain-like patterns, which reduce in scale as they near the top, and with trefoil-pierced edges. A large bell, decorated with Christian figures, phoenixes, and passages written in Latin, hangs beneath the arch. Like church bells, this bell may have been used to call individuals to prayer.
From the clock case hangs a pendulum, which terminates in a sun-burst motif. This is suspended before an elaborate, strapwork back panel.

Located in London, GB
Gilt-bronze clock with enamel numerals attributed to Henri Picard
French, circa 1860

The elaborate case of this beautiful mantel clock has a large central circular dial with enamel Roman numerals for the hours and engraved on the edge with Arabic numbers for the minutes. The surmount is a gilt bronze group of Father Time, depicted as an elderly male figure seated on a circular globe. The quality throughout is exceptional, demonstrating the very best of 19th century craftsmanship.
This clock is after a design by André-Charles Boulle (French, 1642-1732) and similar to examples of equally fine quality and casting known to have been made by 19th Century bronzier Henri Picard (French, fl. 1831-1864), therefore we can attribute the case to Picard. The movement is stamped for Parisian clock...
