Summary

Artist
after a drawing of Achile-Jacques Fédel
Description
Français : Pendule à poser.
Ce boitier en bronze doré est richement décoré. La face, schématiquement rectangulaire, comporte des motifs droits et gauches symétriques.
En bas un masque central permet à deux putti ailés demi-allongés de s’accouder. Nus, ils ont simplement ceint chacun un tissu. De leur autre main ils se tiennent un long parchemin qui décrit des courbes.
De chaque côté du cadran se trouve une femme debout vêtue à l’antique et coiffée d’une couronne de fleurs. De son épaule extérieure fait issu le drapé de la robe qui constitue le bord extérieur de la pendule. Sa main soutient une palme. De l’autre côté son épaule porte une guirlande qui entoure le cadran et se joint à l’autre vers le ciel au centre. Chaque main tendue désigne en haut un masque central identique à celui du bas.
Le quadran est habité de six putti.
Les deux aiguilles désignent des chiffres romains gravés jusqu’à XII sur des plaques émaillées.
