GUERET Frères - Set including an oak clock and barometer

This set consists of a clock and a barometer, is stamped "Gueret Frères à Paris" and dated 1863. Made in carved oak, the barometer and the clock are composed like wall panels carved with cartridges and branches. Very beautiful quality of the sculpture. It was in 1853 that Denis-Désiré Guéret (born February 10, 1828) and his brother Onésime (born March 10, 1830) created a factory of carved furniture under the name "Guéret Frères" . In 1877, it takes the name of "Guéret Jeune et Cie", which allows us to confirm the creation of our set before that date. From 1855, they participated at all Exhibitions and won many medals. The quality of their work is frequently rewarded and adds to their order book. Rich bourgeois but also illustrious personalities such as the Duke of Aumale, Napoleon III or Mr. Bryce, very demanding of this sumptuous furniture, will order them. The latter commissioned them to make all the furniture for his hotel Avenue Gabriel.

Jules BRATEAU, four-sided clock on a high square base

Made in 1900, our clock is a major work by sculptor and goldsmith Jules Brateau. This renowned craftsman won several medals at world's fairs. Mounted on a central foot, the clock has four finely decorated and chiseled faces. The decoration, in low relief, is a tribute to the artists of the Italian and French Renaissance. The foliage, for their part, is in the spirit of Art Nouveau fashion. Under the copper-colored dial, representing a silver sun, a winged adolescent rests near a fire. The iconography is rich in symbols. On one side of the clock, a winged woman, holding a cornucopia, rides the wheel of time or destiny. On the back of the clock, Adam and Eve are depicted. The original couple echoes the snake adorning the central foot, made of a sunflower branch resting on a blooming carnation. Emerging from a rich plant decor, a Latin inscription means “Let the happy hours be numbered in full”. Four examples of this clock are known to date, their decorations have some variations. One of them is kept in a private collection. Its blue enamelled dial, the color of the sky, is decorated with a golden sun. Celebrated in the press, our clock was reproduced in the magazine Art et Decoration in July 1900.

Founded under the reign of Louis XV, the French crystal manufacturer Baccarat excellence at the World's Fairs throughout the 19th century. These ruby-hued blown crystal vases feature acid-etched and gilded decoration. The Japanese-style decoration features a plant stretching its branches around the circumference, interrupted only at the ring, in the middle of the neck, and at the top. The top of the neck is decorated with geometric friezes. The influence of Japanese prints is perceptible in the theme, as well as in the way of space and the representation of the plant world.
