Louis XVI, Paris ca. 1780, the chapter ring signed Furet à Paris.
Gilt bronze and white and grey marble. Openwork frame in the shape of a lyre, the top decorated with a woman's face and flower garlands. On a stepped marble base with a recessed top and round feet. The base decorated with a meander frieze, beadwork and chains. The clock with partially skeletonized movement mounted on a compensation pendulum. White enamel chapter ring with Roman hours, Arabic minutes and Arabic date numerals in black and red. Movement with scissor escapement. On a later base with a glass cloche.
H 52 cm.
Chips to the marble base, minimal losses to the chapter ring.
The lyre pendulum is a very specific form from the Louis XVI period and is dedicated to the theme of music. Technically, there are two basic types: Pendulums which have a fixed movement, with a ring-shaped pendulum bezel arranged around the housing, and pendulums in which the movement and dial are integrated into the swinging pendulum. The pendulum on offer, made by the Parisian clockmaker Furet, features this second, ingenious system of the free-swinging pendulum. The rods of the pendulum are displayed in a decorative manner and represent the strings of the lyre. A sun figure, usually with a Medusa head in a halo, completes the upper part of this decorative pendulum.
