Another version of this model of clock can be seen in J. Augarde, Les Ouvriers du Temps: La Pendule à Paris de Louis XVI à Napoleon Premier, Geneva, 1996, p. 54, fig. 36. A sketch for a related clock, by François Vion, is in the Bibliothèque Doucet, Paris (H. Ottomeyer & P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, fig. 3.11.6). Condition Report: Movement is in clean condition, the going train is in running however the strike train is currently not working most likely due to a pinion (pivoted via a cock behind the countwheel) becoming mis-aligned and jamming. This should be a relatively straightforward repair for a suitably qualified clockmaker. The pendulum has later Brocot regulation to the suspension (was most likely previously silk suspension) hence the backcock is probably a replacement. The dial has a small edge cracks at II and IX, and slight enamel chips adjacent to the edge screws at XI, III and VII; there is also a small enamel chip to the right hand winding hole, hands appear undamaged but may be 19th century replacements.The case is in fine original condition with fine thick original gilding. The surface has overall noticeable darkening through build-up of dirt as well as some tarnishing of the bronze coming through. There is some edge wear and the rear of the base has thinner gilding which has discoloured more noticeably than the front and sides. There is a small casting 'blow-through' to the movement drum support at the rear and the the platform supporting the urn surmount has a slight casting depression towards the front right hand corner.As catalogued clock has winding key and a 19th century pendulum.Condition Report Disclaimer
