Napoleon III Louis XVI Style Clock, Signed Raingo Frères and Bronze by Henri Picard
Superb desk clock dating from the Napoleon III period, crafted in the Louis XVI style, characterized by its classical elegance and refinement. The clock movement is by Raingo Frères, a prestigious Parisian watchmaker renowned for the precision and quality of its mechanisms. The finely chiseled and gilded bronze is attributed to Henri Picard, a renowned 19th-century bronzier who frequently collaborated with Raingo Frères and was a supplier to Napoleon III.
The white enamel dial is adorned with Roman numerals and delicately openworked hands. The gilt bronze clock is richly decorated with neoclassical motifs, such as garlands, ribbons, and columns, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship. This clock, both decorative and functional, perfectly embodies the excellence of Parisian artisans during the Second Empire and is ideal for an office or elegant interior.
A true work of art, at the crossroads of watchmaking and sculpture, reflecting the refined taste of the era.
