An important Louis XVI style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Parquetry Regulateur, After The Model by Balthazar Lieutand and Philippe Caffiéri, By François Linke. The dial signed 'F. LINKE / A PARIS', the door signed 'Linke' Linke Index Number '768'. Surmounted by Apollo's horse-driven chariot amidst swirling clouds, above a square clock case centred by a circular dial within a bezel cast with Zodiac symbols, the dial signed 'F. LINKE / A PARIS', with twin-barrel movement, deadbeat escapement and quarter striking to two bells, with nine bar gridiron pendulum, the movement stamped 'ETIENNE MAXANT / BREVETE PARIS' under a ship and '20519', the side panels each with a hinged door, over a glazed front applied with a ribbon-tied laurel wreath and enclosing a pendulum, raised on a stepped plinth with berried-laurel band over relief panels emblematic of the Four Seasons applied to the front and sides, the moulding to the door signed 'Linke'. Linke produced three versions of this regulator clock, based on the celebrated eighteenth-century model by Balthazar Liéutaud (d. 1780) and Philippe Caffièri (d. 1774), now in the Frick Collection, New York. The present version, which features Apollo in his horse-drawn chariot and three bas-relief plaques of the seasons to the plinth base, a second version with Léon Messagé's celebrated enfant guerrier as the surmount, with a single bas relief plaque to the front of the clock and a third version also incorporating the enfant guerrier, but with a newly designed front bas relief panel. The present model, with the Apollo surmount, was exhibited at the 1905 Salon du Mobilier in Paris (see Payne, op. cit., p. 187, pl. 203); while the second version with the enfant guerrier, was shown at the 1902 'Salon des Industries du Mobilier' in Paris (see Payne, op. cit., p. 170, pl. 184). The third version incorporating the enfant guerrier and the new classical bas relief...
