Artist: Le Lubois Michel Toussaint
A beautiful French 18th century Louis XV in rococo style clock with matching plinth in a rare five colors marquetery display with brown tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, green red, yellow colored horn inlays.
Louis XV period is characterised by beautiful curves of the ormolu and chases bronzes keeping asymmetric design patterns in pure Roccoco style
Several abrevation stamps are visible on both the cartel clock and stand as " G" reporting likely to "Francois Goyer" recorded as master in 19 july 1740 and specialised in cartel boxes distinguished by beautiful ornulu bronze mountings .
The clock movement is original and works perfectly. It rings hours and quarters on demand by pulling a string. Both the dial and the movement are signed LELUBOIS (Toussaint Michel ) recorded as clockmaker in Paris and master of the clockmaster guild in 1724.
