A RARE FRENCH LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU MOUNTED ANNULAR CLOCK GARNITURE BY DUFAUD
-
Description
In the illustrious realm of 19th-century French craftsmanship, behold a rare marvel: an exquisite Louis XVI style ormolu-mounted white marble 3-piece Rotary (Annular) clock set. This ensemble comprises a resplendent clock and a pair of magnificent 3-armed candelabras.
The clock, fashioned in an urn shape, is adorned with opulent Ram head handles, evoking an air of regal sophistication. Gracing its marble façade, a patinated bronze cupid, wielding a spear that poetically points to the passage of time. This horological masterpiece stands proudly atop a rectangular base adorned with gilt bronze mountings, resting gracefully on four ormolu legs.
This marvel hails from the skilled hands of Dufaud, a distinguished artisan of his time, whose craftsmanship echoes through history. Dufaud's legacy is chronicled within the annals of Rue de Saintonge, Paris, in the year 1870, as documented in Tardy's esteemed compendium, Dictionnaire des Horlogers Français. This clock, an embodiment of artistic finesse and timeless elegance, encapsulates the opulence and precision of the era, whispering tales of an age gone by.
