PARLOR PENDULUM CLOCK WITH BOULLE MARQUETRY
Louis XIV/Régence, Paris, 1720–1730. The movement is signed LeSueur (probably Gervais Le Sueur, mentioned in Paris, ca. 1730).
Wooden case with red/brown tortoiseshell and engraved brass-inlaid Boulle marquetry in the form of flower vases, angels, birds, arabesques, and tendrils. Rich gilt bronze fittings in the shape of decorative friezes, foliate scrolls, shells, and masks. Trapezoidal, architecturally designed case with arched pediment and recessed top. The corner posts are scrolled at the bottom and rest on reclining bronze horses with saddlecloths. On a flat plinth with a front saddlecloth and round feet with relief acanthus leaf decoration. The corner posts in the upper section feature allegorical hermae pilasters with an emperor, Hebe, Concordia, and Night as half-figures. Door bronze in the form of the armored female figure of war “Bellona” between two captured Turkish warriors. One is armored and kneeling on a turban, the other is dressed as a Janissary.
