Charles Dutertre (active 1758-1778), ma”tre horloger in 1758.
This superb clock, combining a beautifully modelled and chased gilt-bronze case and richly decorated Sèvres porcelain case, is an exquisite example of the luxury goods produced for the fashionable marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre. Daguerre took over the business of Simon-Philippe Poirier and had a monopoly on the plaques produced at Sèvres for use on furniture and bronzes d’ameublement. The design for this model of clock, one of a select group of clocks to incorporate Sèvres porcelain elements, derives
from a drawing dated 1770 by François Vion now at the Bibliothèque Doucet (VI E15 Res. Fol. 20/1) illustrated in H. Ottomeyer/P. Pröschl et al, Vergoldete Bronzen, München 1987, Vol. I, plate 3.7.4, p. 179.
The son of an horloger, Dutertre supplied movements to Dominique Daguerre and employed cases by the fondeurs Saint-Germain, Gaulier, Portellette, Poisson and the Osmonds. Clocks with movements by Dutertre are recorded in the 18th Century in the collections of the Comte d’Artois, Prince Charles de Lorraine, the Marquise de Langeac and Grimod de la Reynière.
