| Very fine Louis XVI bleu nouveau Sèvres porcelain lyre clock with fine ormolu mounts and pendulum mounted with paste brilliants. The movement is by Kinable; the enamel dial by Dubuisson. [The rear pendulum mechanism is replaced.] Originating in 1785, about 30 of the model were produced at Sèvres before the Revolution. The clock-maker Dieudonné Kinable worked from the late 18th century until after 1816, purchasing nineteen lyres between 1795 and 1806. Exhibited: French Clocks from North American Collections; The Frick Collection, New York 1982-3. Nº 86 |
