A cartel clock with movement by Jean-Baptiste Lepaute (maître in 1776), displaying an almost identical plinth and undoubtedly executed by the same ciseleur-doreur, was sold from the Collection of M. Hubert de Givenchy, Christie's Monaco, 4 December 1993, lot 7. A second of exactly the Givenchy model was sold at Sotheby's New York, 16 May 1987, lot 27. These two related cartels lack the supporting putti and have a ribboned bow in place of the Bacchic urn finial, whilst the tablet friezes are proportionately larger and supported by incised tabs rather than ball finials.
