    Description

    A Louis XVI period, late 18th century, gilt bronze and marble (Turquin and white) clock, known as the "Well Clock." The enamel dial with Arabic numerals and delicate, openwork hands appears to be suspended within an arch surmounted by a pine cone. In the center, a fine chain descends directly into the well opening, holding a small miniature bucket.
    Below the dial, the structure faithfully imitates the architecture of a castle well. The cylindrical body of the well is made of white marble slabs assembled to simulate ashlar construction.
    The well rests on a circular marble base (probably blue Turquin or gray Sainte-Anne marble). The base is decorated around its perimeter with a frieze of pearls or a chiseled cord in gilt bronze. Small decorative gilt bronze bollards or studs are visible on the base, arranged around the main structure. The entire clock rests on small toupie feet. This clock is in very good condition; it has been serviced and is in perfect working order. It has its pendulum and key. This type of table clock, very fashionable during the reign of Louis XVI, reflects the period's taste for picturesque and architectural miniatures combined with the high precision of French clockmaking.

    Please note: there are very minor scratches on the marble, slight wear to the gilding in places, and general wear consistent with age. Please examine the photos carefully.
