Clock featuring fauns in white marble and chiseled, gilded bronze. The enameled dial is signed “CHOPIN, Paris.” Empire period. This rare model, sometimes attributed to the late 18th century and other times to the early 19th century, is traditionally attributed to Thomire for its bronze work. The signature of Chopin, a clockmaker in Paris since 1806, allows us to date it to the early Empire period. H_42 cm W_53 cm D_14 cm.
