- Lot Description
Europe, France (Paris), ca. 1880 to 1905 CE. A lovely French clock made by Etienne Maxant Brevete. The movement is stamped "15565 / ETIENNE MAXANT / BREVETE / 4 R DE SAINTONGE PARIS / MADE IN FRANCE". The case is framed in brass and sits upon pad feet. The cornice and base moldings are beautifully designed and embellished with appliques along their friezes: a pair of opposing birds around a central seal on the base molding and decorative flourishes on the cornice. The slightly pinched in main section is flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. The front panel is glazed porcelain, featuring Cupid and Psyche below the clock face and two floral elements adorning the corners above the clock face - all in pastel pink, blue, and white against an emerald green ground. Size: 5.375" L x 7.75" W x 12.625" H (13.7 cm x 19.7 cm x 32.1 cm)
The enamel dial presents the hours as well as every 5 minutes in arabic numerals and a pair of pierced gilt hands. The retailer's name - "Shreve, Crump and Low Co. / Boston, Mass" - is signed on the clock face. The back panel of the case opens to allow access to the pendulum and the French made movement.
Etienne Maxant had a business in the rue de Saintonge, Paris between 1880 and 1905. Shreve, Crump, and Low was founded in 1796 across from Paul Revere's silversmith shop. Following the Great Fire of 1872, the company moved to 225 Washington Street, and in 1929, moved to its current Art Deco style building.
Provenance: The William F. Draper Collection, New York City, USA, acquired via descent from the late William Franklin Draper (1912-2003), an accomplished American artist whose career spanned seven decades. Known as the "Dean of American Portraiture," William Draper was the only artist to paint President John F. Kennedy from life, and his oeuvre includes marvelous landscapes from his world travels, military paintings as he was one of only seventeen Combat Artists in WWII, and portraits of illustrious individuals. This clock belonged to Princess Margaret Draper Boncompagni - William Draper's aunt who was an American heiress and married Prince Andrea Boncompagni in the 1920s.
