Notes

Cette précieuse pendule de forme borne en marbre blanc présente une riche ornementation de bronzes dorés. Le cintre supérieur est souligné de feuillages et ponctué de rosaces. Deux mufles de lion tenant dans leur gueule une chaînette retombant de part et d’autre sont placés sur les petits côtés à l’amorce du cintre. Au sommet, une coupe à l’antique aux motifs de mufles de lions et pattes griffues accueille des étendards militaires piétinés par un aigle aux ailes déployées. Le cadran circulaire émaillé blanc à chiffres romains pour les heures et arabes pour les minutes est souligné de feuillages de laurier et d’un carquois. La pendule est portée par quatre lionnes couchées, les pattes croisées, posées sur une base rectangulaire en marbre noir à petits pieds toupies. Ce modèle peut être rapproché des réalisations des célèbres orfèvres et fondeurs romains Luigi et son fils Giuseppe Valadier. La Pinacothèque de Faenza détient plus de trente dessins de caisses de pendule exécutés à ’atelier Valadier dont l’un présente une caisse en forme de borne à cintre épousant la forme du cadran, des volutes aux extrémités du cintre pouvant accueillir des rosaces comme sur notre pendule et un espace pour une plaque rectangulaire en façade. Par ailleurs les inventaires du stock indiquent de nombreuses commandes de pendules, activité qui fut très lucrative pour les deux orfèvres. L’attribution à l’atelier Valadier est en outre soutenue par le motif de lionnes couchées aux pattes antérieures croisées supportant la caisse, que l’on retrouve sur d’autres pendules, notamment celle de la collection Marjorie W. Gilbert aujourd’hui au Getty Center de Los Angeles.
