書評

This superb box of 2 books with 496 color pages and more than 400 color illustrations presents the French clock from the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries.
With a hundred and thirty-seven clocks from the 18th and 19th centuries, the Parnassia Collection is one of the greatest private collections of figurative clocks in the world by its quality and importance.
The ninety-one classical models discussed in the first volume illustrate the sculptural art of Parisian bronze makers at its heyday.
The second volume is the first reference work on clocks with African figures, called «Pendules au Noir», with over forty models. They are studied in a new way, rejecting stereotyped interpretations.
Through these two copiously illustrated volumes, Jean-Dominique Augarde, a renowned specialist of Parisian clocks and bronze makers, gives us an original and captivating study of the works of the Parnassia Collection and their sources of inspiration.
