Lot Essay

The present lot by the firm of Kahn & Cie. is characteristic of the company's productions celebrating royal models of the ancien régime. Though little is known of the firm, factories were established in the early 20th century in London at 19-51 Gough St. and in Paris at 84, avenue Ledru-Rollin. Another example of the present clock was sold at Sotheby's, New York, 15 April 2011, lot 35 ($98,500).
