19th C French Brass Enamel Etienne Maxant Brevete Clock
Item Details
Description
Europe, France (Paris), ca. 1880 to 1905 CE. A lovely French clock made by Etienne Maxant Brevete. The movement is stamped "15565 / ETIENNE MAXANT / BREVETE / 4 R DE SAINTONGE PARIS / MADE IN FRANCE". The case is framed in brass and sits upon pad feet. The cornice and base moldings are beautifully designed and embellished with appliques along their friezes: a pair of opposing birds around a central seal on the base molding and decorative flourishes on the cornice. The slightly pinched in main section is flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. The front panel is glazed porcelain, featuring Cupid and Psyche below the clock face and two floral elements adorning the corners above the clock face - all in pastel pink, blue, and white against an emerald green ground. Size: 5.375" L x 7.75" W x 12.625" H (13.7 cm x 19.7 cm x 32.1 cm)

The enamel dial presents the hours as well as every 5 minutes in arabic numerals and a pair of pierced gilt hands. The retailer's name - "Shreve, Crump and Low Co. / Boston, Mass" - is signed on the clock face. The back panel of the case opens to allow access to the pendulum and the French made movement.

Etienne Maxant had a business in the rue de Saintonge, Paris between 1880 and 1905. Shreve, Crump, and Low was founded in 1796 across from Paul Revere's silversmith shop. Following the Great Fire of 1872, the company moved to 225 Washington Street, and in 1929, moved to its current Art Deco style building.

Provenance: The William F. Draper Collection, New York City, New York, USA, acquired via descent from the late William Franklin Draper (1912-2003)
