Description
DESCRIPTION: An antique French Etienne Mugnier marble figural mantle clock. The dial with painted black Roman numerals, and ornate ormolu arrow hands. Stamped Etne Mugnier. Depicts a figural carved sculpture depicting a seated young cherub figure holding a cluster of grapes. With hinged door on verso. Etienne Mugnier l’Aine (the Elder) opened his first clock making workshop near the Palais-Royal in Paris in 1786. He had been a student of renowned watch and clockmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet for well over a decade. He had extensive mechanical skills, making not only clocks and watches, but also automatons, and collaborated with bronze-makers to develop special clocks. He was well inserted in the watchmaking world in Paris and close to the Le Roy family who dominated French chronometry at that time. His daughter Jeanne-Emilie Mugnier married Louis Charles Le Roy at the beginning of the 19th century.
