Small Empire-style Table Clock—gilded Bronze By Thomire

Gilded bronze CLOCK, circa 1815 , shaped like a pillar flanked at each corner by a torch and surmounted by an eagle. The ensemble is topped by a basin with two handles, resting on Boulle-style feet with roulette motifs.

An identical model is preserved in the Mobilier National under inventory number GML 5935. The dial of the latter is signed THOMIRE.

Enamel dial with Roman numerals for the hours and a railway-track minute scale, signed “Ls Fleschelle à Paris.” Tardy mentions a clockmaker named Fleschelle, who set up shop at the Passage des Panoramas in 1820. The hands are Bréguet-style steel hands. Round Paris movement with a chime striking the hours and half-hours on a bell via a clapper. Wire suspension.  The mechanism will be serviced prior to sale (disassembly, adjustment of wear-related clearances, cleaning, reassembly, oiling, and adjustment). Includes key and balance wheel. Requires winding once a week.
