專家說明

Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (1719-1791), maître fondeur-ciséleur-doreur in 1748.

Cartel clocks of identical design are illustrated in:
Tardy, La Pendule Française, Paris 1981, p. 304 and 305.
H. Ottomeyer and P. Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, Vol I, Munich 1986, p. 116, fig. 2.5.7.
P. Kjellberg, Encyclopédie de la Pendule Framçaise, Paris 1997, p.95, fig. F.
This model is probably one of the earliest designs by St. Germain, and has been supplied to various Parisien clockmakers such as Gosselin, Le Roy, Guillemin and Lenoir.
