An exceptional and monumental white marble figural sculpture clock, "A Nubian Slaying The Lion" by Jean-Joseph Jacquet (Belgian, 1822–1898), circa 1860. This extremely impressive white marble carved figural group depicts a Nubian defending a woman and child lying on the ground against the attack of a lion. All carved from a single slab of marble. The sculpture sits on the original white marble clock that it was made for. This was definitely a private commission piece by a Royal family in Belgium for Joseph Jacquet. Signed 'Joseph Jacquet' to left side of base. A truly impressive and one of a kind piece. Measures: 34" high x 32" wide x 14" deep In overall very good condition and ready to place. With normal wear consistent with age and use. Repairs to the top of his spear and to the lion's tail. The clock base with minor nicks and 'nibbling' to the lower edge. We cannot comment on the functioning of the clockworks, which should be examined by a restorer prior to use. One key, one pendulum. Jean Joseph Jacquet, sometimes written Joseph Jacquet, (30 January 1822 - 9 June 1898) was a Belgian sculptor. He was born in Antwerp in Belgium and was the son of a baker. He studied with Guillaume Geefs at the Brussels Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts and was the friend of Peter Ludwig Kühnen (1812–1877), a painter originating from Aachen, specialised in painting romantic landscapes. He called from Antwerp to Brussels his brother Jacques (1830 - 1898) who assisted him throughout his lifetime. Jacques actively took part in sculpture by his own productions for the Brussels art salons of 1843, 1854, 1860, 1866, 1872 and 1873. For the 1842 Brussels Art Salon. Joseph Jaquet exhibited a marble bust, three plaster busts, a Moses Saved from the Waters and a Meditating Saint Paul which brought him notoriety. His contribution for the 1845 Salon was more important and especially a model for a bronze statue of Froissart for Chimay but he acquired a definitive notoriety in 1854 with The Golden Age. In 1864, he secured his first commission in Amsterdam: The Victory for the Paleis voor Volksvlijt, then a second commission for the decoration of the national monument in The Hague Willemspark. The equestrian statue of Baldwin I of Constantinople was created in 1868 in Mons, then the pediment and lions on the Brussels Stock Exchange in 1872. In 1879, Joseph Jaquet designed a statue of Louise of Orléans, first Queen of the Belgians: this statue was on the Place d'Armes in Philippeville then was moved to the old École moyenne, Namur street. He was a professor at the Brussels Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts and a master of Charles Samuel. He died in 1898 in Schaerbeek in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Napoleon III ormolu and coated bronze three-piece clock garniture. "Amphitrite with Triton". Maison Raingo Frères, Paris, France, circa 1870. Signed in the machinery. Garniture consisting of two candelabra of five lightsmade with stems and with feminine figures, and a watch of golden sphere with numeration in Romans on white background. This one shows a feminine figure in the inferior part, accompanied by a child whose lower extremities take the form of fish tails, detail that is also present in the two men who appear behind and are blowing shells. The subject has been drawn from classical mythology: Amphitrite, represented with a trident and sitting on a shell, was the wife of Poseidon, with whom he had a son, Triton, messenger of the deep sea and characterized by his human torso and fishtail lower half. The two male characters would be members of the sea cortege that used to accompany these gods, and the two ladies in the candelabra would be Nereids, marine nymphs, with their cloths wet on the skin. The house Raingo Frères was established in Paris in 1813, and was specialized in the sale of precision watches during the French Empire and the Restoration. Some models of astronomical watches are known, and they owned several patents. In 1830 they settled on Rue de Touraine number 8 in Paris, and in 1841 the four Raingo brothers, originally known as manufacturers of machinery, added bronzes and other decorations to their catalog. In 1860 they made bronzes for the Emperor Napoleón III and the Empress Eugenia de Montijo. Although at first they specialized in classical art, they were already paying attention to contemporary artists such as Pradier, Carrier-Belleuse and Auguste Moreau, using their works in chandeliers and clocks. In addition, they collaborated with prestigious cabinetmakers such as François Linke. La Maison Raingo participated in the Universal Exhibitions of 1867, 1878 and 1889, awarded in all of them with medals and winning the Gold in 1889. So required were his works that, in some cases, sets were created using the same molds, varying in small details : A garrison is known with the candlesticks decorated with Neptune and Amphitrite and the clock like the one of this game, only that without pavonar and everything in bronze gilded, conserved in an important private collection. It is known as Napoleon III style to a French current that flourished during the Second French Empire (1852-1870) in the years of the reign of this monarch, characterized by the inspiration in the Renaissance for works. Architecturally, it is associated with one of the best known projects of this date, the renovation of Paris by Baron Haussmann." Size: 54 x 24 x 79, candelabra 35 x 23 x 78 cms.
