Table clock, Apollo. Bronze, marble. Model by LENOIR-RAVRIO, Louis-Stanislas (1783-1846). Paris, circa 1820. Table clock consisting of a stepped rectangular base made of red veined marble and gilt bronze elements with a clear classicist influence (molding of architectural motifs, set of garlands and elements linked with latticework), and the area of the clock face, situated on a stepped pedestal, placing, on it, a patinated bronze figure representing the god Apollo (note the gilt bronze lyre he holds in one hand). The dial, made of gilt bronze with different finishes, has Roman numerals, Breguet-type hands, and the inscription “L. RAVRIO BRONZIER / A PARIS”, relating to the creator of the bronzes in the work. Louis-Stanislas Lenoir-Ravrio (Paris, 1783 – Ivry, 1846), adopted son of André-Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814), was one of the leading bronze makers of his time (his father was also one), and they worked together for a number of years (until 1814). He officially joined his father's business in 1811, gaining great recognition for his works at the Garde-Meuble and for his participation in International and National Exhibitions. Weight: 28 kg
