79 - Clock with a planetarium. France, probably 19th century. Three gilded bronze sculptures—two depicting Hercules and one Atlas—support an engraved glass zodiac sphere, beneath which the planetarium is housed. The case is made of openwork bronze, and the dial is white enamel with Arabic numerals. The base is shaped from marble and edged with gilded bronze palmette motifs. The clock’s movement drives the planetarium: two planets of the solar system are represented by spheres rotating around the Sun, depicted by the central globe with paper spindles, bearing the inscription ‘à Paris chez le St Forum rue de la Harpe 1773’ (modifications and replacements). Height: 47 cmhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Fa_qjTfsmaaxW175yFB32ft7HKZiEg8Z
