Rococo Wall Clocks
ROCOCO STYLE
Rococo was an aesthetic movement in the fine and decorative arts in the 18th century that found its inspiration in nature and fostered an overall lightness and delicacy of form, construction and ornament in interior design. Rococo furniture, while greatly influenced by trends in Italy and Germany, is often called Louis XV style — the movement having reached its best expression during that sybaritic French king’s reign.
The term “rococo” is thought to be a portmanteau of the French words rocaille and coquilles — “rock” and “shells” — organic motifs frequently used in architecture and design of the style.
When it comes to authentic Rococo furniture's characteristics, it is above all sensuous and social. The furniture of earlier eras in Europe had been heavy in every sense; the Rococo period saw the appearance of light-framed upholstered armchairs, side chairs and occasional tables that could easily be moved to form conversational circles.
The signal detail of Rococo furniture design is the gently curved cabriole, or S-shaped chair-, table-, and cabinet-leg. It imitates the bend of a tree limb or a flower stem. In a further reference to nature, furnishings were often asymmetrical and painted white, or in soft, pastel shades. Rococo has become a timeless style, and as the furniture pieces presented on 1stDibs demonstrate, its playful, sculptural forms can provide visual excitement to contemporary, clean-lined spaces.

Large and rare ormolu and porcelain Louis XVI style bracket clock by Planchon
Located in London, GB
Large and rare ormolu and porcelain Louis XVI style bracket clock by Planchon
French, Late 19th Century
Clock: height 46cm, width 46cm, depth 14cm
Bracket: height 30cm, width 52cm, depth 17cm
Featuring a design that is exemplary of the innovative and unique clockmaking of Mathieu Planchon, this beautiful bracket clock combines a complex semi-circular dial and movement, with elegant porcelain panels and radiant gilt-bronze mounts to create a stunning decorative timepiece. Craft in Neoclassical Louis XVI style yet with clear Rococo stylistic influences, the semi-circular dial consists of a single fly-back hand against Roman numerals and painted porcelain face, decorated with flowers and a landscape scene with a lake in front of architectural ruins.
The dial is signed: 'Planchon / Paris,' as is the movement, and it is set within an arched gilt-bronze case with extensive Rococo foliate ribbons and garlands surmounting, centred on a rosette below, and mounted on a pair of gilt hoof-feet. The bracket is similarly decorated, with a trellis lattice in between two columns, beneath a small table surface banded by a vine-shaped frieze. As much a triumph of antique clockmaking as it is a decorative piece, this fine clock...
