Beautiful Louis XVI clock in white marble and gilded bronze from the Parisian house Planchon.
This clock has a half-round base embellished with a garland of pearls and bronze trim depicting foliage. This rests on four small chiseled bronze feet forming domes.
Four cylindrical columns in white marble, embellished with collars in the lower part, support another half-round base, decorated with garlands of flowers and ribbons, in shaped bronze. An openwork gallery follows the curve of this marble element and four Louis XVI pine cones complete this decorative ensemble.
The dial is signed "Planchon à paris" and is surrounded by ribbon and foliage.
The pendulum is in the shape of a radiant sun, accompanied by a mask.
Above the dial, a beautiful urn decorated with a garland and topped with a bronze leaf and fruit completes this clock in perfect condition.
Refined, this clock delights with its finesse and ornamentation.

Mathieu PLANCHON (1842-1921) is a watchmaker, historian and theoretician of watchmaking. He settled in Paris, at the Palais-Royal, in the 1870s. He also worked with Jean E. ROBERT-HOUDIN, a famous watchmaker and manufacturer of automatons before becoming a famous illusionist. He studies the systems of "Mysterious Clocks" and his work will be followed by Maurice Couet who will ensure the creation of these famous mysterious clocks for the famous jeweler CARTIER. Planchon will also reconstruct the clock donated by Viollet-Le-Duc as well as the monumental clock by Jean Fusoris for Bourges Cathedral in his Dictionnaire du Mobilier.
