Clock called "Au Temple" in white marble... - Lot 173 - Giquello
Clock called "Au Temple" in white marble and gilt bronze. At the top a circular temple rests on four gilt bronze columns, the upper part with a double rotating disc indicates the hour and minutes by means of a stylized star. The two rotating discs are in white enamel with the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes in Arabic numerals on which there is a dotted graduation. The globe rests on a stylised frieze and reveals the watch mechanism with a visible double barrel for the mainspring. Under the dome is a circular white marble base adorned with a beaded frieze in gilded bronze on which rest four grey marble columns, and in the centre a bisque statuette depicting a shepherd. Behind the shepherd, the peninsula with its sun-shaped lens drives the whole mechanism. Louis XVI period. Height. 40 cm
