Louis-Stanislas LENOIR-RAVRIO (1783-1846). Erigone s'enivrant. Chased, gilded and patinated bronze clock with circular gilded bronze dial with Roman numerals in black and traces of signature, resting on a stepped sea-green marble base with two lionesses facing each other drinking and flutes on the sides, (Wear to the gilding and dial, missing a finial and the rear bezel, a tassel on the bench to be reattached but not missing). Restoration period. Height : 42 cm - Width : 39.5 cm - Depth : 14 cm Note : Louis-Stanislas Lenoir-Ravrio is considered the illegitimate son of André-Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814), with whom he was associated. On the latter's death, he inherited the workshops and models. Several similar Empire-period gilt-bronze clocks signed André-Antoine Ravrio are listed. An anonymous drawing of the initial model of our clock is reproduced in Augarde, Une odyssée en pendules : chefs-d'œuvre de la collection Parnassi, éditions Faton, pendule 28. Expert : Cédric HENON
