Notre œuvre est reproduite dans l’ouvrage de Pierre Kjellberg, Encyclopédie de la Pendule Française, Les éditions de l’Amateur, Paris, 1997, p. 284, fig. B
Ce superbe modèle de pendule à cadran tournant, en bronze ciselé et doré, est à rapprocher du travail du bronzier Robert Osmond, chantre du néoclassicisme sous le règne de Louis XVI.
Les cercles tournants indiquant les heures et les minutes s’inscrivent au niveau du col d’une urne coiffée d’une pomme de pin. Chaque pièce d’émail est séparée d’une quartefeuille. Les anses à la grecque et la guirlande de feuillages démontrent l’influence des travaux de l’ornemaniste Jean-Charles Delafosse. Deux serpents s’enroulent autour du vase dont les langues indiquent les heures et les minutes. La base se compose d’une demi-colonne à cannelures rythmée par un drapé et ceint en partie basse de joncs rubanés.
Il existe plusieurs variantes de notre oeuvre montrant un serpent inscrit au centre d’une pendule à cadran tournant comme celle du Musée du Louvre datée de 1770.
Tardy, dans son ouvrage : La Pendule Française – 2ème partie : du Louis XVI à nos jours reproduit page 289 une pendule en marbre très similaire à celle que nous présentons, réalisée par Le Paute et décrite comme conservée au Musée du Louvre.
