Rare Louis XVI period portico clock in white marble and gilded and chased bronzes with antique-inspired decor. This important late 18th-century Neo-classical clock is composed of two sheaths with caryatids, encircled by pearl friezes and surmounted by stylized palmettes. The two sheaths enclose a white enameled dial showing the hours in Roman numerals. The lower part of the dial is adorned with an openwork drapery. The dial is surmounted by a basket of flowers, from which two garlands of flowers spring on either side. The wire sundial is adorned with a radiant cherub in finely chased bronze. The ensemble rests on a white marble base adorned with a frieze of laurel and palmettes, a frieze of olives and a star in the center, in gilded bronze.

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

Jacques-Claude-Martin ROCQUET

A watchmaker of remarkable qualities, 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 Menus Plaisirs du Roi, while one of his ancestors built a chapel for the Medici family. His work was noticed by the Court, and the Mobilier National still owns one of his Restoration-era "Troubadour" clocks.
