Condition:

The splendid mantel clock is in a very good condition, consistent with age. The dial has been renewed. The bronze cast displays several production-related cracks. Some applications are slightly loose. During in house testing, the timepiece was fully functional; no guarantee on long term precision and regularity. The dimensions of the case measure c. 46 x 27 x 13.3 cm.

Alexandre Le Faucheur (died after 1772)

The clockmaker was born in Evreux, in the Haute-Normandie region, and received his matre in October 1729. Such was his talent that in March 1745 he was appointed Valet de Chambre-Horloger Ordinaire du Roi to Louis XV. In addition to this honorable task of suppling the royal court with clocks, he was also allowed to run his own shop. In 1749 his career enjoyed further promotion, when replaced Jean V Martinot as Gouverneur du Grand Horologe du Roi du Palais. Due to his great watchmaking skills, Le Faucheur also took on numerous commissions from the aristocracy besides producing clocks for the royalty. His clocks are now represented in many public collections, including Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire, Patrimonio Nacional, Spain, or the Muse National des Techniques, Paris.
