The original design for the mantel clock in this garniture is by Étienne Martincourt (maître 1762). At least four 18th century examples are documented, one of which was supplied circa 1773-7 to Louis XVI for the Salon de Conseil at the Tuileries Palace, and is presently in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu (see G. Wilson et. al., European Clocks in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 1996, no. XVI, pp. 114-123).
