French, circa 1860

This remarkable bracket clock is by Jean-Louis-Benjamin Gros, one of the leading furniture makers active in Paris during the reign of Napoleon III. The clock is comprised of two parts: the clock case itself and its supporting bracket.
The clock case is wrought in the distinctive Rococo Revival style from tortoiseshell and gilt bronze, the case shaped in a manner typical to Rococo originals. The gilt bronze mounts are superbly formed, being intricately cast and finished in an ornate floral manner. The case is surmounted by a classicizing finial comprised of a torso adorned with armor. The dial, of tooled gilt bronze, is inset with individual enamel cartouches, one for each hour.
The bracket is similarly decorated, formed from tortoiseshell and gilt bronze. The bronze is signed ‘Gros / Paris’, while the clock movement is signed ‘Lany a Paris’ and Lagarde / a Paris.’.

- An Important Louis XV gilt bronze bracket clock with musiciansLocated in PARIS, FRAn impressive large cartel clock adorned with musicians Gilt bronze Period Louis XV, circa 1760 Mecanism by J. B. Regnauld (1733-1809) clockmaker at Châlons sur Marne Gilt bronze attributed to Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain (1719-1791) Excellent original condition Dimensions : h. 47.24 in, w. 22.84 in. Provenance : collection Eduard Palmer (chief executive of Imperial and Royal Austrian Länderbank), Vienna, Austria. His estate sold at Dorotheum auction, Vienna, December 1 to 6, year 1915. This exceptional cartel clock we are offering here is one of the most representative works of Rocaille art during the reign Louis XV. The case is entirely executed in gilt bronze, very finely chiselled and depicts at its top a pastoral scene with a duo of musicians. A standing flute player, accompanied by a singer sitting on a rock holding a sheet music book. The couple are accompanied by a dog sitting quietly next to it and scratching its ear. The whole is embellished with flowery and foliage branches, volutes and large scrolls of acanthus, enclosing reserves lined with crimson velvet fabrics with pierced brass plates with stylized foliage and scrolls. This bucolic scene draws its inspiration from the paintings by Nicolas Lancret and Antoine Watteau. The circular white enamelled dial is signed “Regnauld à Chaalons”, indicates the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes in Arabic numerals by two pierced and gilded brass hands; the movement plate on the back is also signed. It strikes the hours, the half-hours, as well as the quarters, which was quite rare. Our cartel can be compared to an almost identical model whose movement is signed Pierre Le Roy...Category
