A Louis XV ormolu and varnished-gilt bronze pendule à l'éléphant signed Jean-Baptiste Baillon, Paris, likely 19th century
The white enamel dial with blue enamel Roman numerals and signed "J BAPTISTE/BAILLON," housed in a circular case surmounted by a monkey atop a trumpeting elephant raised on rocaille and foliate base with applied ormolu flowers, the ormolu with lacquer coating; the movement largely a late 19th century repeater replacement without pendulum, the backplate spuriously signed "J Bte Baillon Paris."
H: 15 1/2, W: 12 in.
