Lot Essay

The present lot is nearly identical to the 18th century clock, `Pendule: Les Trois Graces’ attributed to the celebrated Ancien Régime sculptor, Etienne-Maurice Falconet, and today in the Louvre (OA 6525). This faithful interpretation by Henri Weigle dated to 1902 attests to the enduring fascination with objects from the last decades of the 18th century in France, and the burgeoning, international market for fine reproductions of them to decorate the grand interiors of the day.
