Message from
Jamie Collingridge
This month’s update has a decidedly European flavour and includes
some particularly fine French and German clocks.The jewel-encrusted
silver-gilt miniature clock attributed to Dinglinger in our 10
December sale (lot 776) is an exquisite example of the silversmith’s art.
In the same sale you will see a stunning pair of porcelain vase clocks by
Meuron,which we will be offering individually (lots 803 and 804).
This month’s selection is notable also for the unusually high number of
astronomical clocks. Indeed, if you enjoy complicated mechanisms
then we have some extraordinary examples, ranging from the Sarton
skeleton clock illustrated on the front of this Update (lot 343 on 9
December) to the amazingly intricate Pouvillon skeleton clock in the
same sale (lot 344).We will also be selling one of the most beautiful
clock dials I have ever handled,which you can see on the Bachelard
regulator (lot 345) - a masterpiece of the enameller’s art.
The clocks in our London sales will be on view at the same time as
other spectacular works of art, including the magnificent Cucci
cabinet,Rembrandt’s Portrait of a Man and Raphael’s Head of a Muse. I
hope you will have the opportunity to visit us.
Kind regards
