having an enameled dial with Roman numerals raised on a winged beast form support over the putto and foliate decorated base, the whole set on a giltwood stand.

這件鐘錶的原型是法國魔術巨匠Jean Eugene Robert Houdin (胡丁，1805-1871)研製的著名的魅幻时钟。不同與傳統歐美鐘錶，胡丁大師將複雜的機芯完全隱藏到鈡座内，簡潔的白琺琅錶盤上伸如向日葵，帶翼雄獅象徵法蘭西，無一外露齒輪而運行如常，是謂神秘鈡。

這精緻的小臺鈡是19世紀法式中國風的絕佳體現。經典四方鈡樓的上部鋪以絳紅絲綢，改造成一方小小舞臺，一對男女身著西式長袍，袍子上的紋樣和女子的云肩卻是典型的東方風情。人物之間的圓桌同樣鋪陳著絳紅絲，綴以精巧的金絲流蘇。桌面上一座亭台，以鏡面分隔成四個微縮場景，拉動隱藏在鈡身背後的抽繩，可以自由變換。

The Belgian cast brass table clock from around 1850 features a distinctive look with its bronze elefant figurine. The casing is carried on the animal’s back and is crowned by an amphora. The figurine stands on a rectangular, red marble base.

The table clock is in very good condition with minor signs of age. It starts running and comes with a key. The dimensions are 38 x 22 x 12 cm (height x width x depth), the dial has a diameter of 12.5 cm. The clock ran perfectly during a short-time test; but long term precision and regularity cannot be guaranteed. (ggo)

A French Gilt Bronze and Marble Lyre-Form Clock, Bourdier
19TH CENTURY
十九世紀 法國銅鍍金太陽神里拉琴式神秘鈡
標記：BOURDIER A PARIS
the lyre form frame surmounted with a mask centered sunburst over a foliate swag, the enameled dial with Roman hours and Arabic minutes and seconds, signed BOURDIER A PARIS, set on an oval swag decorated and beaded base, the whole raised on toupie feet.

法王路易十四自號太陽王，自那以後，太陽神就成了宮廷裝飾藝術品中不可或缺的元素。這件鐘錶頂部為太陽神阿波羅頭像，襯以背芒，下設一橫棖，墜著繁複精密的機芯與環狀錶盤，乍一看不知如何使之運轉——其實只要稍稍推動錶盤，神秘鈡即開始運轉，穩住錶盤，則停止走動，是爲“神秘鈡”。鈡身為路易十六時期風靡的里拉琴造型，飾滿玫瑰花、葡萄葉和連珠紋，白石束腰座與白琺琅錶盤相應，顯得華美而不失穩重。同樣造型的鐘錶可見承德避暑山莊藏“十八世紀法國嵌白石座自鳴鐘”，但本鈡的結構更爲精巧，製作難度更高。
