SUMMARY
EMPIRE CLOCK “NYMPHE À LA COQUILLE” www.apolloartantiques.nl This Empire clock from Paris, circa 1810, depicts “Nymphe À La Coquille”, who some sources refer to as Venus. However, she can be Latona, a daughter of Titans in Greco-Roman mythology. Zeus conceived her with the divine twins Artemis and Apollo. Hera, Zeus’ jealous wife, wanted to prevent Latona’s delivery. Even after Latona’s delivery she was thwarted, as by the Lycian farmers who did not want Latona to stay and scoop water from a shallow pool with a conch to quench her thirst, as told in the “Metamorphoses” by Roman poet Ovid.

The 8-day movement with a wire suspension pendulum strikes the hour and half hour on a bell. The clock is in excellent and perfect working condition, and has recently been serviced by a professional clock maker. 51 cm high, 52 cm wide, 16 cm deep, weighing 17.1 kg, the clock comes complete with its pendulum, key and bell.

This spectacular and large gilt bronze Empire clock “Nymphe à la Coquille”, attributed to Claude Galle, has a bastion-shaped case which holds the movement of this clock. On top of this case we see a scene of a young woman sitting on a meadow full with flowers. She is holding a shell in her right hand which she is using to take water from a small pond. This scene is clearly inspired by the marble sculpture “Nymphe à la Coquille”. This sculpture, which was previously owned by Camille Borghèse, is currently

in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The movement of this clock has a white enameled dial with black enameled Roman numerals. Beside it are figurative plaques of Tritons blowing their horns. And to the side of the clock case we see two dolphins. The base of this Empire clock “Nymphe á la Coquille” has a beautifully chiseled bas-relief showing us a classic processional scene with Amor on his chariot, and groups of women, probably on their way to a wedding ceremony.
