Clock and 2 Candlesticks Table set Sterling Silver Enamel Salimbeni. https://www.spikhad.shop/product/clock-and-2-candlesticks-table-set-sterling-silver-enamel-salimbeni/ https://www.spikhad.shop/product/clock-and-2-candlesticks-table-set-sterling-silver-enamel-salimbeni/#respond Thu, 17 Oct 2024 21:49:01 +0000 https://www.spikhad.shop/product/clock-and-2-candlesticks-table-set-sterling-silver-enamel-salimbeni/ Table set made up of a clock and 2 candlesticks in 925/1000 sterling silver gold plated with two-tone translucent stripes fire-enamelled on guillochè and fine hand-engravings.
The clock has a base of cm. 4.5 x 10 and is rectangular cm. 8.3 x 10.2 x 2.5 total height cm. 12. Silver weight gr. 535. Dial diameter cm. 6.5 with Swiss mechanical skeleton movement with alarm and 8-days charge. Each candlestick has a square base cm. 6 x 6 with a column diameter cm. 2 with dish diameter cm. 5.5, total height cm.10, weight gr. 175. Napoleon III French Empire style, second half of the 1800s. Designed by Franco Salimbeni in 1983 and produced in the Salimbeni company headquarters with manual workmanship by skilled artisan artists with a thick slab suitable for withstanding numerous high-fire enamelled firings at around 800° C.
Guilloché is a craftsmanship performed on mostly precious metals, which allows to obtain surfaces engraved with complex and repeated geometric patterns.
Guilloché engraving was invented in the mid-1800s in Switzerland by watch manufacturers to embellish the dials of their luxurious artifacts.
The technique consists in engraving the metal with a burin using a machine with mostly manual controls. (see photos in the gallery)
A copier following the sinuosity of some matrices placed on the machine transmits a movement to the object subjected to engraving, thus obtaining that the burin “cuts” the metal. By moving the positions of the matrices and the copier, precise intertwined engravings of an almost infinite geometric type are obtained and their continuous differentiation certainly adds value to the objects that are produced.
The dexterity required to carry out this operation is highly specialized, the existing machines are very old, as there has never been a mass market and above all for the conservation of art.
After the engraving, we generally proceed with fire enamelling, a meticulous and very long process during which the guilloché engraved surface is covered with various layers of colored glass powder and cooked in small special ovens at a temperature between 700 and 800 ° C.
The result of transparency and perfection can also require numerous firings, at least 10 for a single color, for surfaces with multiple colors, it can even reach 50 firings. One color is applied at a time and then baked, the glazes used have a different blend so that when the next color is placed the previous one does not move.
The inclination of the surfaces of an object can create great difficulties both for the guilloche engraving and in the enamel firing phase as the positioning of the machine becomes more complex and a great skill and competence is required while the liquefaction of the enamel produces situations complexes that only the highest level of craftsmanship can achieve.
In Salimbeni production, guilloché engraving and enamelling have been the main processes for more than a century and are found in almost all products.
In the construction of an object Salimbeni starts from a drawing, which can also be provided by the customer, to build the structure by hand with silver plates of different thicknesses. Once the necessary shape has been obtained with welding and finishing, processes common to the talented silversmiths, we proceed with the guilloché engraving and subsequent enamelling, as well as all the final polishing and galvanic finishing, for gilding and / or other.
Our most complex and most precious productions also required months of work for small objects, seeking a perfection that is generally not contemplated in craftsmanship but which for us is the basis of our daily life.

In the hallowed halls of horological history, this Empire gilt-bronze ormolu mantle clock, a sublime masterpiece from late 19th-century Paris, emerges as a beacon of opulence and artistic refinement. Crafted in homage to the distinguished model by the visionary architects Percier et Fontaine, this timekeeping marvel transcends its utilitarian purpose, embodying the very essence of Empire style aesthetics.

Elegantly raised on a sienna marble base, the clock’s physical presence is nothing short of a visual symphony, marrying the warm hues of gilt-bronze ormolu with the timeless allure of natural stone.

The design, an architectural ballet of intricacy and balance, features delightful Egyptian and neoclassical motifs, pays homage to the grandeur and cultural richness of the Empire period. Percier et Fontaine’s influence is unmistakable in every filigree and flourish, elevating the clock beyond the realm of mere timekeeping into an objet d’art that encapsulates the spirit of its time. The gilt-bronze ormolu detailing, with its ornate motifs and delicately rendered designs, speaks to a cultural milieu where craftsmanship was not a mere skill but a form of storytelling.

The clock engraved Susse Fres Edts / Paris, the twin train movement stamped JAPY FRÈRES and numbered 11671

19.5″ high x 15″ wide x 9.5″ deep

19th Century French musical automaton clock https://www.spikhad.shop/product/19th-century-french-musical-automaton-clock/ https://www.spikhad.shop/product/19th-century-french-musical-automaton-clock/#respond Thu, 17 Oct 2024 15:12:59 +0000 https://www.spikhad.shop/product/19th-century-french-musical-automaton-clock/ This fine, antique mantel clock is constructed in ebonised wood by the renowned Parisian maker of automata, Xavier Tharin (French, active mid 19th Century). The clock face is set onto a curled, stylized pediment atop the clock case. The face is of white enamel, featuring black Roman numerals and signed ‘Tharin a Paris’, and is bordered in beaded ormolu. The pediment in which the face is set is decorated with ormolu mounts of stylized acanthus leaf form. The pediment is set onto a rectangular frame of ebonised wood, inside which is set a musical automaton scene of monks taking a meal inside a monastery hall. The figures within the scene are moved by the mechanism using the pull cord and two buttons to the side of the plinth, upon which the framed scene is set. The rectangular frame is flanked by foliate wooden scrolls on either side. The clock sits on a rectangular plinth, mounted around the edges with ormolu surrounds, and decorated to the front centre with ormolu mounts of swans drinking from a fountain. The movement can be accessed from the back of the case, and is stamped ‘Tharin Paris.’
