About the Item

Gilt bronze and parquetry standing clock by Kahn in the Régence style French, early 20th century Measures: Height 262cm, width 62cm, depth 17cm This beautiful longcase clock is of elongated violin body form. The wooden surfaces throughout are superbly veneered with fine parquetry, while neoclassical style gilt bronze mounts proliferate: the surmount of eagle, globe, and serpent; the twin cherubim flanking the surmount, and the twin cherubim espagnolettes on the lower case; and a whole variety of scrolls, acanthus leaves, and classicising assemblages. The clock dial, of white enamel, is inscribed with Roman numeral hour marks and Arabic numeral gift minute marks, the hands of scrolled gilt bronze. The clock, by the celebrated Ed. Kahn and Cie., takes as its model various Régence period originals, particularly pieces by Cressent. Kahn was celebrated in his own day, and since, for its faithful interpretations of earlier precedents. The movement is stamped ‘1691/69’ and the gilt bronze is marked ‘Kahn’.

Gilt-Bronze Clock with Enamel Numerals Attributed to Henri Picard

Gilt-Bronze Clock with Enamel Numerals Attributed to Henri Picard

By Henri Picard

Located in London, GB

Gilt-bronze clock with enamel numerals attributed to Henri Picard French, circa 1860 Measures: Height 73cm, width 45cm, depth 23cm The elaborate case of this beautiful mantel clock has a large central circular dial with enamel Roman numerals for the hours and engraved on the edge with Arabic numbers for the minutes. The surmount is a gilt bronze group of Father Time, depicted as an elderly male figure seated on a circular globe. The quality throughout is exceptional, demonstrating the very best of 19th century craftsmanship. This clock is after a design by André-Charles Boulle (French, 1642-1732) and similar to examples of equally fine quality and casting known to have been made by 19th Century bronzier Henri Picard (French, fl. 1831-1864), therefore we can attribute the case to Picard. The movement is stamped for Parisian clock...

20th Century Louis XVI Style Museum Pedestal Clock after Jean-Henri Riesener

20th Century Louis XVI Style Museum Pedestal Clock after Jean-Henri Riesener

By Jean-Henri Riesener

Located in Berlin, DE

A Model of Jean Henri Riesener (Received Master in 1768) executed in 1785. (Inv. OA 5501 in Louvre Museum). 19th century. This fine and sumptuous “Regulateur de Pendule” presents a fine amaranth. Of Sycamore oeuil de vermeuil, ebony and buis stringing marquetry. The base and the gaine are decorated with diamond shapes. The hours are inscribed in Roman numerals and the munutes in Arabic. It takes place in a magnificent gilt décor of three winged children playing with garlands on clouds. The regulator is enriched with a delicate garniture of bronze. The dial and each panel are framed by an elegant frieze of palms and pearls. The top of the gaine is enhanced with a frieze of palms and ovums, foliages and garlands of flowers. Each corner is ornated with fleurons. The front of the gaine is embellished by an Apollo mask (Sun Symbol) and each side with laurel crowns. Under the mask the cartouche is decorated by a stylized vase of flowers. Folliated scrolls, flowers, garlands, cornucopias and musical instruments such as a harp (Apollo Reference) The cherubs are underlined by pearls, scrolls of Acanthus Leaves and garlands dawning out in foliages, framed with ropes until the lions feet. The feet rest on a base ornated with fleurons and foliages with buds of flowers ending in four conical feet with acanthus leaves. With André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) and Charles Cressent (1685-1768), Riesener was arguably one of the three greatest French ébénistes of the 18th century. Eventually taking over the workshop after Oeben’s death in 1763, and marrying his widow some four years later. He is renowned for completing the famous bureau du Roi...
