CIRCA 1760, POSSIBLY GERMAN, BLUE CROSSED SWORDS MARKS TO THE FIGURES The drum barrel surmounted with flowers, above an arbour flanked by two Meissen figures of musicians, with further scrolling flowering branches terminating in oak leaf candle nozzles, with three writing utensils on a scrolling rocaille base, the white enamel clock face with Arabic numerals 18 ? in. (47 cm.) high; 17 ? in. (44.5 cm.) high
This clock with its incorporated inkstand is a typical assemblage produced by the marchand-merciers in the mid-18th century. It includes two Meissen porcelain figures, both from the Cris de Paris series, circa 1757 and after models by Peter Reinicke. The female is the Hurdy Gurdy player, and the male the Mandolin player. Both figures can be seen illustrated in L. & Y. Adams, Meissen Portrait Figures, London, 1987, p. 120.
