Louis Ourry is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Paris circa 1680. He is further recorded on the British Museum website as becoming a master watchmaker in 1684. The movement of the current lot is of fine quality and incorporates pull-quarter repeat which is rarely seen on French clocks of this period. The case appears to have been made for the movement and dial and is also of suitably fine quality however the pattern for the marquetry does not appear to match other ‘period’ examples as analysed in Plomp, Reinier Early French Pendulum Clocks, 1658-1700. Further investigation confirms the presence of comparable Napoleon III ‘revival’ examples with the same basic pattern of marquetry, this would suggest that the current case was made in the 19th century to replace the original, probably due to wear and tear.
