拍品描述
A LATE LOUIS XVI ORMOLU-MOUNTED VERDE ANTICO MARBLE 'PENDULE AUX VESTALES' THE MOVEMENT BY DETOUR, PARIS, CIRCA 1792 Of architectural form, the domed top above an egg-and-dart border, the pediment mounted with ormolu rosettes, the white enamel dial, with inner date ring, signed 'DETOUR/A PARIS', above a bas relief depicting the sacrifice of love, flanked by two draped Vestals each within a foliate engraved niche, the sides each mounted with an amphora vase, above a rectangular base, the front mounted with a pierced arabesque frieze centred by two Bacchic lovers, on toupie feet, the twin barrel movement with recoil anchor escapement, silk suspension and countwheel strike to bell; the chiming spring signed and dated 'richard mars 1792' 18 ? in. (47.5 cm.) high; 15 in. (38 cm.) wide; 6 in. (15 cm.) deep This attractive clock is modelled as a triumphal arch evocative of an Antique temple. The central relief panel depicting a harvest sacrifice at the altar is framed by Vestals in niches, each bearing a sacrificial vase and ewer. Illustrating "le go?t étrusque" that was popularized at the end of the reign of Louis XVI, the scene of Vestal virgins conducting their sacrifice to the gods is one which has also capurted the imagination of the leading designers Jean-Démosthène Dugourc and Jean-Guillaume Miotte, both of whom created similarly inspired models for clocks, now in the collections of the The J. Paul Getty and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (see H. Ottomeyer/P. Pr?schl, Vergoldete Bronzen, München 1987, p. 299, plates 4.18.8-9). Such works, including the present lot, were intended to be placed on the mantelpiece, and thus the symbolism of the Vestals tending to the flame of the Temple of Vesta, Goddess of the Hearth, is entirely in keeping. A nearly identical model to this clock, which was surmounted by an eagle finial and with some variations to the decoration of the niches and the bas relief panels, was offered Christie's, London, 4 December 2008, lot 99.
