EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite wall clock, crafted by renowned French artisans in the 18th century, is a true testament to their mastery of craftsmanship. Created by case maker Jacques Caffieri and movement maker Julien Le Roy, this timepiece showcases their exceptional skills and attention to detail. The clock's gilt bronze and enamelled metal construction exudes elegance and sophistication. Standing at an impressive height of 77.5 cm, with a width of 40.6 cm and depth of 11.4 cm, it commands attention in any space it occupies. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate design on the dial, which was expertly enamelled by Antoine-Nicolas Martiniere. The delicate enamel work adds a touch of color and liveliness to the overall composition. Hailing from Paris, France during the mid-18th century, this wall clock represents not only a functional timekeeping device but also a work of art that reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with that era. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an age where craftsmanship reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world filled with digital devices for telling time, there is still beauty in traditional mechanical clocks like these – reminders of our rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy.
