Ledure Et Hémon - Empire Clock Decorated With Astronomical Characters And Motifs

This Empire period clock, around 1800, is a masterpiece of watchmaking.
The sculpture depicts a graceful woman, dressed in a drapery, and a lyre placed to the side above the dial, covered with a drapery that falls on a stack of two books.
Very good quality of carving by the master bronzier Ledure The matte and shiny mercury gilding is original and of very good quality, and in very good condition.
The rest of the clock is richly decorated with astronomical motifs, cornucopias and figures, reflecting the interest of the time in science, nature and discovery.
The painstakingly worked sculpture and the sumptuous finish make this clock a very beautiful collector's item.
The watchmaking is made with precision and is signed Hémon.
This clock would be a splendid addition to any classic or historical interior.
Add this unique and refined work of art to your collection and enjoy its unparalleled charm.
