FRAN?OIS-RAOUL LARCHE (FRENCH,1860-1912) Allegorie du temps modelled as a clock, signed 'RAOUL LARCHE', with Siot Decauville foundry cachet and stamped '437G' bronze, gilt 29 ? in. (75 cm.) high; 19 in. (48.5 cm.) wide This clock circa 1905.
This clock of impressive scale is a rare example of the model produced by Maison Siot-Decauville in collobarotion with the celebrated Art Nouveau sculptor Raoul-Fran?ois Larche. The clock was cast in three sizes and were listed for sale circa 1905 in the fondeur's catalogue with prices ranging from 2,700 to 7,000 francs (see Bronzes et objets dart, Siot-Decauville, fondeur éditeur, Paris, pl. 125). Larche was able to command such high sums having already established himself as a prominent artist, exhibiting at the Paris Salons throughout the 1890s and at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. Today Larche perhaps best known for his three bronze figural table lamps featuring the American dancer Lo?e Fuller, which were also produced by Siot-Decauville.
