Lot Description
A French Gilt Bronze Elephant Clock, Jean-Antoine Lepine
(French, 1720-1814)
十八/十九世紀 法國銅鍍金太平有象鈡
製作：Jean-Antoine Lepine
標記：L'Epine/A PARIS
having a festoon hung urn form finial over the enameled dial with Roman numerals signed L'Epine/A PARIS, raised on the back of a standing elephant, further set on a mahogany base with toupie feet.
太平有象是中國文化中的吉祥寓意，乾隆朝中國成爲英法鐘錶業的主要市場后，西方鐘錶商紛紛推出面向清朝顯貴的獨特款式。本品采用白琺琅鈡盤，三、六、九時設三個弦孔，羅馬數字刻度，雙針，鈡盤略有傷，瑕不掩瑜，仍是不可多得的精品。
