C.1830, French, Raingo Freres, Paris (signed), monumental ormolu and bronze clock in the Louis XVI style, and in outstanding original condition. This clock depicts a young child at play atop the clock, a classic subject for this time period, with an additional bronze frieze of children eating fruit on the left side, and youngsters at play on the right side of the dial. The dial and movement are signed as in the headline. Porcelain dial is excellent with no chips, the numerals and signature in cobalt blue. This all bronze case is well finished, the detail on all figures and trim is remarkable. The movement is running and striking but is dusty and would benefit from service. Minor repairs to rear of case are only visible from underneath. Width 25", height 21"
