A Louis XVI style ormolu and Sèvres style porcelain mantel clock incorporating an 18th century movement and a dial signed Coteau

the white enamelled dial highlighted in gold, red and blue, with hours, minutes and calendar ring, with phase of the moon in the arch and inscribed Filon à Paris; the striking movement in a rectangular case fitted at the front and sides with Sèvres style porcelain plaques with oval reserves painted en grisaille within gilt-edged berried laurel wreath borders on a blue pointillé ground.

Joseph Coteau (1740-1812) was one of the foremost enamellers of clock dials in the last quarter of the 18th century.
