Japanese Imari Porcelain and Gilt Bronze Clock Set
Located in London, GB
This clock set contains three pieces: namely, a mantel clock and a pair of flanking candelabra. The mantel clock is designed about a Japanese porcelain vase, known as Imari ware. This white ground vase, painted in reds and blues and ornamented with foliate forms, functions as the clock case, the dial centrally mounted and encompassed by Rococo style gilt bronze motifs. This vase is supported by a gilt bronze base, which is profusely ornamented with gilt bronze acanthus leaves, garlands, and, most distinctly, a pair of putti. The vase is mounted with lion head handles to each side, also of gilt bronze, while the lid of the vase is topped by a gilt bronze finial in the form of a putto.
The candelabra are similarly decorated and of similar construction, each one being built about a smaller Imari...

Garniture, clock and candelabra. Bronze, porcelain. France, 19th century.
Located in Madrid, ES
Garnish with clock and candelabra in porcelain and gilt bronze. France, 19th century.
Mechanism in perfect working order.
Fireplace garnish composed of a clock and two five-light candelabras, all three pieces made by combining gilt bronze, with relief elements and round bulges and cold-chiseled details, and porcelain decorated with low-temperature enamels, including gold enamel. The porcelain pieces follow models from the Sèvres National Manufacture of the 18th century, with large pictorial cartouches on a cobalt blue background adorned with golden plant motifs. The set follows a historicist design that combines baroque and neoclassical elements with enamelled scenes of Rococo inspiration, representing landscapes and scenes with mythological themes alluding to the arts and the goddess Venus. The clockwork is stamped “Chles. MT”, with serial number 17420. The main glazed porcelain plates are signed DP Boncher. The clock follows an architectural structure, with an oval base with a prominent front in plan, raised on four molded feet in the shape of a top, on which a large ornamental vase is placed. This plinth has a distinct pinto and, above it, a main body as a façade, with a circular pediment that houses the clock face. This includes black enamelled Roman numerals on white medallions with a gold border, arranged around the central representation of a putti reclining among clouds, holding a floral garland and accompanied by musical instruments. Among the medallions that house the numbers, a small jeweled decoration that evokes pearls and embedded rubies, which is echoed in the secondary areas of the body of the piece and also the vase, always combined with delicate golden filigrees.
On both sides of the sphere are two female portraits of ladies from the 18th century, in oval frames. Below, a classically inspired scene with a muse holding musical instruments, probably Euterpe or Erató, accompanied by a putti reading a sheet of music. On the sides of the clock body, two large curved rectangular plates house highly pictorial enameled landscapes, worked with the same miniaturist precision as the rest of the enameled cartouches. These are landscapes of romantic heritage, again inspired by the 18th century, with ideal settings for a twilight atmosphere, featuring classical ruins. The vase that tops the body of the clock has a hemispherical tank, shoulders ending in an edge, an openwork truncated conical neck, which opens smoothly towards the shoulders, and a domed lid, also openwork. The handles are figurative, in bronze, with two female sisters crowned with flowers, of clear Greco-Latin inspiration, worked in a round shape. In the tank, the vase houses two enameled porcelain cartouches, the front one with two putti and a dove - a symbolic allusion to Venus - and the back one with musical instruments. The design of the clock is completed by two thick bronze S-shaped plant braces, under the vase, and counter moldings and plant motifs cast in relief and cold chiseled, combining matte and polished finishes. The candelabras follow a similar design, with large vases of neoclassical design on pedestals, in this case cylindrical, raised on four low feet of turned design. The bases house porcelain cartouches with scenes of putti related to the arts; In one of them we see two putti practicing painting, and in the other two others in a scene related to classical lyric poetry, with one putto writing while the other, holding a lyre, raises a laurel wreath above his head. The cartouches that occupy the front of the candelabra vases...

A Miniature Skeleton Mantel Clock By Victor Athanase Pierret
By Victor Athanase Pierret
Located in Amersham, GB
A miniature French skeleton clock with silk suspension and eight day movement, dating from the mid 19th century, with original glass dome on an ebonised and brass inlayed base with enamel dial.
This clock was made by Victor Athanase Pierret whose distinctive VAP mark in an oval is stamped on the base of this clock. He exhibited a small skeleton alarm at the 1851 Great exhibition at Crystal Palace of which this may well be a version.
Victor-Athanase Pierret (1806 - 1893)
Victor-Athanse Pierret was born 1806 in Bucy-les-Pierrepont. He began his five year apprenticeship with Rolin at the age of 13. Later he moved to Paris and settled in the Rue des Bons-Enfants no. 21 when he was 24. Pierret created pendulum clocks with and without calender indicator, cases for ship’s chronometers, chronometer escapements with temperature compensation and night light clocks with pendulum. At the London Exhibition of 1851 he presented an alarm clock and a pendulum clock with a globe. In 1853 Pierret applied for a patent for a new date indication device, in 1855 he patented an 8-day power reserve movement.
Pierret created his own watchmaking tools...

Neo-Egyptian Bronze and Marble Clock Attributed to G.Servant, France, Circa 1870
By Georges Emile Henri Servant
Located in PARIS, FR
A black and red marble clock in the shape of an Egyptian temple attributed to G. Servant, flanked by double columns inscribed with hieroglyphs and ornated with a winged uraeus, all made in two patina bronze. The clock is surmounted by a patinated bronze sphinx. Resting on four bronze faces wearing the nemes and terminating in lion paw feet.
Georges Emile Henri Servant (circa 1828-1890) who took over his father in 1855 at their foundry, rue Vieille-du-Temple, in Paris, specialized in the production of neo-Egyptian style clocks, very popular in France since 1860s, and also the making of Greek style decorative objects. He drew considerable attention to the high quality of his bronzes at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition and then at the 1862 London Exhibition. At this time Servant exported up to 40% of his production, principally to the United States, where for instance, his sphinx clocks were sold with great success by Louis Tiffany Inc. or Hamann & Roche of New York (A similar clock is now exposed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). But his success came really at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition, where he was awarded a gold medal for his neo-Greek and Egyptian works (Les Merveilles...

Leila and the Giaour Gilded Bronze Clock, France, Circa 1830
Located in PARIS, FR
Dial signed Polti Frères
Measures: With base or glass: Height 61 cm (24 in.), width 51,5 cm (20.3 in.), depth 23.5 cm (9,2 in.)
Without base: Height 52 cm (20,5 in.), width 42 cm (16.5 in.), depth 12.5 cm (4.9 in.)
Important philhellenic clock in burnished and amati gilded bronze, finely chiseled, representing on the terrace a couple elegantly dressed in "the turkish style", and richly decorated with foliage, scrolls and flowers. The feet, decorated with water leaves, rest on an oval wooden base covered with a globe.
The theme of the clock comes from The Giaour, a fragment of a Turkish Tale, an English poem by Lord Byron published in may 1813 which tells the thwarted love of a Venetian, the Giaour – term by which the Turks designate infidels and especially Christians – and of Leila, a slave belonging to Hassan’s seraglio, military leader of a Turkish province. The betrayal of Leila discovered, she will be thrown into the sea and her lover will avenge her by killing Hassan, then taking refuge in a monastery.
Symbol of prestige and modernity, the decorative clocks are a reflection of the taste of the era of a wealthy bourgeoisie and may be the subject of diplomatic gifts or between individuals.
Beyond the purely decorative aspect of such objects, watchmaking in the 19th century is part of a subtle mix of political, historical and literary references.
This philhellenic movement converning the West finds a particular echo in France, one of the countries with the United Kingdom and Russia having suported the Greeks during their war of independance (1821-1830) to free oneself from the grip of the Ottoman Empire. Many clocks...
