About the Item

A Louis XVI Ormolu Figural Cartel Clock, the circular white enamel dial signed "Baudoin A Paris" within a cartouche-shaped case surmounted by an urn and flanked by two female bust figures called 'espagnolettes', above two entwined berried laurel branches and a berried finial. Large caliber French ebauche 8-day brass time and strike movement with silk thread suspension. The dial bears the signature “Baudoin A Paris”. Pierre Baudoin is mentioned in Tardy as being active as clock maker in Paris during the second half of the 18th century. First mentioned in 1759 in the Quai de l’Horloge, he subsequently moved his workshop to different addresses in Paris. This elegant cartel is of a type much appreciated by Parisian connoisseurs in the early part of Louis XVI’s reign. Among the rare comparable examples known, one with a dial signed Courvoisier is illustrated in P. Heuer-Klaus Maurice, European Pendulum Clocks, 1988, p. 40, fig. 54; a second, with a dial signed Gille l’aîné, is illustrated in G. and A. Wannenes, Les plus belles pendules françaises, de Louis XIV à l’Empire, Florence, 2013, p. 182; a third, by Charles Leroy, is illustrated in Henriot, Bronzes et bois sculptés des collections privées, planche 6. One last such cartel with a dial signed Javelot, is in the collections of the Musée des Arts décoratifs à Paris (see Bulletin de l’association nationale des collectionneurs et amateurs d’horlogerie ancienne, n° 61, summer 1991, p. 34, fig. 16).
