About the Item
The bodies of this exquisite pair of Louis XVI-style cassolettes, along with a complementary clock, are crafted from exceptional specimens of white marble, each measuring almost a foot in height. Doré bronze mounts, emblematic of the Louis XVI style, create a striking contrast with the vibrant hues of the hardstone. Classical eagle masks adorn the legs, featuring intricately detailed foliate festoons held in their beaks. These mounts imbue the neoclassical pieces with a distinct aura of luxury. The cassolettes are accompanied by a matching clock, executed in the same design.
The clock, a crown wheel with a deadbeat escapement, is distinguished by a gilt timepiece at its summit, instead of a removable lid. Its winding mechanism at the base bears the signature of the maker, Victor Athanase Pierret (1806-1893). Operating in Paris, Pierret was the innovator behind lamp clocks featuring rotating globes marked with hour figures, patented in 1863. This clock, marked "SGDG," indicates that innovation, marking its accordance with Parisian patent law.
The term "cassolette" is from the French for "small container." While the word has other meanings in culinary respects, in the decorative arts, cassolettes are small covered vases meant to hold perfumed substances or incense. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, these objets d'art were crafted from all manner of materials, including marble, porcelain and bronze.
