Very beautiful and very rare porcelain biscuit clock. Probably after a model under the direction of Falconnet or Boizot. Very fine clock movement with verge escapement. Needs restoration (chain broken or missing).

The cock is magnificent, very fine, and highly detailed. The balance staff is mounted on ruby bearings.

This is a high-quality clock. It most likely comes from a renowned workshop.

ROMILLY Pierre, based in London at 17 Frith Street from 1769 to 1794.

Probably the brother (or son) of Romilly Jean, based in Paris, Place Dauphine, renowned for the quality of his watches. French horologists Tardy (pages 569 to 571) and Britten's Old Clocks and Watches and Their Makers (page 464).



The sheep, a gentle and peaceful animal, is a symbol of sweetness and tranquility. It evokes images of community and safety. It is therefore an allegory of time and happiness, which promotes growth and the well-being of the soul.



Height 26 cm - Width 21 cm - Depth 10 cm.

Minor restoration to one flower petal (re-glued).
