Important Lerolle Freres Clock 5 Putti Figures 19th Century

Important, big size clock made from white marble and gilded bronze in the second half of 19th century in Paris, France, dated around 1870-1880.

The clock made by famous Lerolle Freres (signed at the bronze) and then sold in Glasgow.

Powerful design and superb quality of the bronze. The clock face is held up by 5 Cherubs clamoring in the grape vines on a raised marble base. 

Louis Lerolle (1813-1875) sold his bronze foundry to his sons, Édouard-François and Camille in 1849, who then became Lerolle frères. At the 1849 Exhibition of Agricultural and Industrial Products, they won a silver medal. They took part in the famous exhibitions of the second half of the 19th century, particularly the Universal Exhibition of 1867. Most of their decorative art creations, especially clocks, strongly reflect a taste for the sculptural aspect as the foundry employed former sculptors to design and create their items.
