Äußerst seltene Directoire-Figurenpendule "Afrika"
Äußerst seltene Directoire-Figurenpendule "Afrika" Bronze, feuervergoldet bzw. dunkel patiniert. Vollplastische Darstellung einer jungen Jägerin mit Federrock, üppigem Perlenschmuck sowie Pfeil und Bogen als Allegorie für den afrikanischen Kontinent, auf dem runden Uhrengehäuse sitzend. Zu ihren Füßen große Schildkröte sowie zu ihrer Rechten vollplastischer Löwe mit Schellenhalsband. Unterhalb ovaler, geschweift ansteigender Sockel mit Perlstabfries auf Balusterfüßen. In der Front reliefierter Puttenfries, flankiert von Blütenfestons. Profilgerahmtes Emailzifferblatt bez. HUNZIKER Rue de Bussy No. 22. Pendulenwerk mit Fadenaufhängung sowie Halbstundenschlag auf Glocke. Entw. Jean-Simon Deverberie, 1799. H. 44,5 cm. 37 cm x 15,5 cm.
Deverberies Entwurf gehört zu der Gruppe der frühesten "Pendules au sauvage", die im Kontext der Bewunderung von allem Exotischen stehen. Die Thematik gründet sich in Rousseaus Idealbild des "Homme naturel" und gipfelt hier in der Gegenüberstellung von Natur und Zivilisation.
