“Chinese” Giltwood Clock After a Design by Thomas Johnson, England, circa 1860

pkversion — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 18:41:39 +0000

Important giltwood clock with a mirror background of Rococo inspiration with a rich sinuous and asymmetrical decoration representing a Chinese couple above a cave, in an environment formed by scrolls, arches and columns. The scene is topped by a winged dial engraved with a hunting scene. A radiant masked sun rising from the clouds dominates the whole.

This clock has an ingenious mechanism with two melodies striking the quarter-hour, half-hour and hour.

This impressive clock has been created after a design by the Londonian woodcarver Thomas Johnson, published first in 1758 then in 1761 in One Hundred and Fifty New Designs (plate 13). Thomas Johnson (1714-1778) was one of the main proponents of the French-inspired Rococo taste in English decorative arts during the 1750s, along with Matthias Lock and Thomas Chippendale.

Provenance : Charles Scarlett Jr., Whitehall, Annapolis, USA
Whitehall was built by Horatio Sharpe, the last governor of the colony of Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay east of Annapolis starting in 1763-1769. He went to London on family business in 1773 and was prevented from returning by the Revolution. The house was sold to Sharpe’s former secretary John Ridout and remained in the Ridout family until 1895. It was acquired by the Baltimore businessman Charles Scarlett Jr. in 1946, who completely restored the property and furnished the interiors. The estate is now managed by a foundation with the Mission of preserving the house and supporting educational and conservation initiatives.

Fire-Gilt Mantel Clock, France / Paris, circa 1830

pkversion — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 11:53:09 +0000

French mantel clock made of burnished and fire-gilded bronze with an enamelled dial, there inscribed “‘a Paris”. The pendulum stands on a rectangular base with turned moulding, above which rises a detailed figural scene on four columns. The clock case is designed like a draped curtain. A young woman in classical dress sits on a stool and pours oil into a flame. A little dog keeps her company. The symbolic gesture of pouring oil together with the double heart in the wreath of roses on the small pedestal is anchored in the tradition of remembrance and is meant to keep the memory alive, here possibly of a love. Literature: Pierre Kjellberg, Encyclopédie de la Pendule française, Paris 1997, p. 430, fig. A.

Charles X Period Ormolu Mounted Jacob Petit Porcelain Mantel Clock

pkversion — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 11:51:04 +0000

Charles X Period Ormolu Mounted Jacob Petit Porcelain Mantel Clock
French, c.1825
Height 36cm, width 18.5m, depth 10.5cm

Set within a beautiful porcelain case, parcel gilt, and florally decorated against a black ground, this fine mantel clock, with a central circular dial surrounded by an ormolu foliage wreath, was made in the Charles X period by the leading maker, Jacob Petit. The base which it is raised upon, below a rich ormolu mounted frieze, is decorated in line with the top, combining Neoclassical elements with a delightful Rococo floral aspect. It is marked to the base, ‘J. P.’
Jacob Petit, born Jacob Mordecai, was a well-known and celebrated French manufacturer of porcelain in the 19th Century.

After studying drawing in the studio of Antoine-Jean Gros, a follower of Jacques-Louis David, Petit joined the famous Sevres Manufactory in 1822, where he painted porcelain wares. After travelling and studying throughout Europe , upon his return to France in 1830-31 he published a complete collection of interior decorations. Together with his brother, Petit bought a porcelain factory in Fontainebleau and, later, a workshop in Paris, where his work became distinctive for their ornamental character, delicate, pastel colours and their reinterpretation of the neo-Rococo of the early 19th Century.
