A rare Louis XVI period portico clock in white marble and gilt and chased bronze mounts with antique-inspired decoration. This important Neoclassical clock from the late 18th century comprises two cases with caryatids, encircled by beaded friezes and surmounted by stylized palmettes. The two cases enclose a white enamel dial displaying the hours in Roman numerals. The lower part of the dial is adorned with openwork drapery. Above the dial is a basket of flowers from which two garlands of flowers spring on either side. The pendulum is adorned with a radiant cherub in finely chased bronze. The whole rests on a white marble base decorated with a frieze of laurel and palmettes, a frieze of olives, and a star at its center, all in gilt bronze.

This Louis XVI style clock is signed on the dial "Rocquet à Paris", for Jacques-Claude-Martin Rocquet (1765-1816), renowned master clockmaker under Louis XVI and then under the Empire.

Jacques-Claude-Martin ROCQUET

A watchmaker of remarkable talent, he inherited an artistic entrepreneurial spirit from his family. Indeed, we know that his father worked as a painter and designer of fabrics and costumes alongside artists such as François Boucher at the King's Menus Plaisirs, while one of his ancestors built a chapel for the Medici family. His work was noticed by the Court, and even today, the Mobilier National (National Furniture Collection) possesses one of his clocks, known as the "Troubadour" clock, from the Restoration period.
