Griotte red marble column clock with finely chased ormolu ornamentation and columns, decorated with two cherubs playing the trumpet around the enamelled dial with Roman numerals (signed by the watchmaker Cachard* Succ de Ch. Le Roy Paris), below a large openwork drapery, sun-shaped pendulum, from the Directoire period at the end of the 18th century.
This clock is in good condition and of remarkable quality. The wire movement works (has been overhauled), we have its pendulum (perhaps not original, has been modified to go with a wire movement), but not the key.
*During the revolutionary period, Gaspard Cachard (or Cochard) was the (fictitious) successor of Charles Leroy, founder of the Leroy company, which had set up shop in 1785 at the Palais Royal. Cachard worked for A. L Breguet.
Please note: small chip in a corner of the marble at the top, the right-hand rear column moves a little (play in the assembly) but is not noticeable once installed and secured, a few micro-scratches on the dial, micro-chips on the marble, traces of dirt on the bronze, slight wear to the gilding in places, please look at the photos.
