Description

PENDULE representing Apollo and his lyre, mechanism by Rabier in Lyon, circa 1825-1830, bronze attached to the Thomire et Cie firm. Gilt bronze clock depicting Apollo standing on a base decorated with antique divinities, representing the arts and supported by four claw feet. Leaning against the terminal containing the movement, which is adorned with laurel wreaths at the corners, palms and a winged victory, Appolon grasps a lyre placed at the top of the terminal. The main figure is in brown patina. The mechanical movement is called "de Paris", with striking hours and half-hours, recoiling anchor escapement and wire suspension. The dial is in silvered bronze. The bronze is known to be made by Thomire, and some examples are signed "Thomire A Paris" by engraving on the left side of the base. Our example was probably produced after 1823 by the great foundryman's sons-in-law, Beauvisage and Carbonnelle, using the original master models to continue the business. Dimensions: Height: 66 cm. Width: 51.3 cm. Depth: 21 cm. Condition : Complete clock in very good condition, original gilding, well-maintained movement, quality old repairs. Reservations : No particular reservations, the mechanism is not guaranteed to work. Provenance : Private collection from the Rance valley, old purchase. Identical models: One exactly identical model, the terrace signed Thomire, lot 217 sale of March 23, 2018. Collin du Bocage.
