Epoque Fine Jewels
Van Cleef & Arpels Art Deco bracelet, circa 1925 Platinum and diamonds Total diamond weight: approx. 30 ct Signed Van Cleef & Arpels and numbered The rhythmic, continuous wave motif creates a strong sense of movement and symmetry, characteristic of the refined geometric elegance of the Art Deco period. The dynamic repetition of the wave forms evokes the era’s fascination with speed, progress and technological innovation, reflecting the visual language of the Machine Age, in which streamlined motion and modern engineering inspired both architecture and the decorative arts. This impression of forward movement is reinforced by the uninterrupted horizontal flow of the design, giving the bracelet a distinctly modern and energetic presence. Executed in platinum, the bracelet displays exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous stone setting, allowing maximum brilliance while preserving the lightness of the openwork structure. The scroll-like abstraction of natural forms into repeating patterns exemplifies the Art Deco ideal of transforming organic movement into elegant modern geometry.

An Empire bronze carousel automaton clock French, circa 1815 Chased and fire gilded bronze H 51 x W 26 x D 17 cm This rare clock, entirely composed of chased and fire gilded bronze, takes the form of a hexagonal pedestal with chamfered corners, housing a movement with a circular white enamel dial on its front. A rich repertoire inspired by antiquity adorns this pedestal: winged griffins, musical putti, cornucopias, scrolled palmettes and rosettes, and, flanking the short sides, two horse heads, chased in the round, each supporting a 'pike' enriched at the base with a corolla of lanceolate water leaves, and punctuated by a ringed tablet for one, and a laurel wreath. An imposing carousel, structured around a richly chased central column ending in a ball, distinguishes the clock. Three putti riding swans—one winged, the second wearing Mercury's helmet, and the third dressed as a court jester—each attempt to grasp the tablet's ring with a curved object. The clock rests on a projecting hexagonal base decorated with a frieze of alternating stylized palmettes and fleurons. A spring mechanism, wound with a key accessible on the rear right-hand chamfered edge of the pedestal, sets the carousel in motion. This mechanism is activated either when the clock strikes or, at other times, by operating a small lever visible beneath the keyhole. A very similar model is held in the clock collection of the François Duesberg Museum in Mons, Belgium. It differs only in its dial and, most notably, in the inscription 'Nicolas Esterhazy, SOUVENIR D’ENFANCE' (Nicolas Esterhazy, Childhood Memory), visible on the front of the base. Also noteworthy is a clock of the same type, signed VAILLANT A PARIS, which was part of the collection of Countess Valtesse de La Bigne Ville d’Avray (1859-1910) and is now in private hands. Another similar example was presented at Drouot on September 15, 2016 (Mac-Arthur Kohn lot 83). It came from the former collection of the Marchioness of Tweeddale.
