Charles Cressent (1685-1768) ran one of the most important cabinet-making workshops in Paris between 1719 and 1757. The attribution of this model to Cressent stems from a clock described in the catalogue of the sale of his stock in 1757: Une pendule à face de bronze sur son pied tout de bronze; elle est coeffé d'un enfant sur un nuage; au pied, il ya deux dragons, avec une tête de Lyon qui sort par un trou. An example in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer/P. Pr/uoschel, Vergoldete, Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I., p. 79, fig. 1.12.6.
