拍品专文

André Hessen, a Swedish clockmaker, was active in Paris 1775-1791.

François Rémond is credited as designing this model of mantel clock known as 'L'Etude' but the design was owned by Dominique Daguerre. The division of labour between the clockmaker and bronzier often allowed for these designs to be adapted and altered slightly so variations to the model was common. The present clock is surmounted by a putto rather than an eagle as is generally seen.
