H. 76 cm – W. 42 cm (minor wear) Note: Although Weisweiler and Daguerre produced several versions of this model incorporating Wedgwood porcelain medallions—which were very fashionable in 18th-century France—the examples adorned with signs of the zodiac are particularly rare. Known examples include one housed at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg; another sold at Christie’s in London on July 1, 1976 (lot 64); and a third from the collection of Lady Magnus-Allcroft (acquired before 1914) and sold at Christie’s in London on June 10, 1993, lot 26.
