Louis XVI clock by Verdier

A Louis XVI clock decorated with two grooved pilasters, each one flanked with “corne d’abondance”, supporting an enamelled dial numbered in Roman and Arabic numeral, surmounted of a quiver, an arc, a torch and a laurel wreath. The all set rests on a white marble base in projection ornated with rosettes.

A clock presenting a similar case was reproduced by Gabriel Henriot in his book entitled: Bronzes et bois sculptés des collections privées (fig.1).
