Reprising some of the most celebrated models of the 18th century, the present garniture is a bona fide study in Ancien Régime sculpture. The bronze group atop the clock is a reduction of the monumental equestrian marble 'La Renommée montée sur Pégase’ commissioned from Antoine Coysevox (1640-1720) in 1699 to adorn the gardens at the Château de Marly. This group was later moved to the Tuileries gardens, and is today in the collections of the Louvre (M.R. 1824). The groups supporting the candelabra – ‘L’Enlèvement de Prosperpine’ and ‘L’Enlèvement d’Orythie’ – are after the famed groups by Louis-Simon Boziot (1743-1809) shown at the Salon of 1786, the first based on a sculpture by François Girardon (1628-1715) executed in 1678 for the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles and the second after a work by Gaspard Marsy (1624-1681), also for the gardens at Versailles.
