Carpenter Founder Bronze Paris Virgin And Child And St John Pendulum 19th

Marble terminal clock enhanced by a black lacquered wooden base, topped with a brown patina bronze representing the Virgin and Child and young St John holding a large cross. The bronze as well as the mechanism were produced by one of the most prestigious foundry in the history of France known for its exceptional quality and fine carving of its bronzes, CHARPENTIER et Cie 8 rue Charlot Paris in 1860. The company continued its activity under the name Lemerle-Charpentier between 1870 and 1890.
