H. 40 cm. 30 cm x 16 cm. The inspiration for the design of this pendulum clock was the birth of the young Henri de Berry in 1820, whose fate as “L’enfant du miracle”—seven months after the fatal assassination of his father, the Duke of Berry—moved the entire nation and, due to the boy’s legitimate claim to the French throne, also held great political significance. See Niehüser, p. 165. A French gilt bronze Empire mantel clock. Dial minimally damaged. Strikes the half-hour on a bell. France. Paris. Circa 1820.
