Wall clock carved walnut wall clock decorated with garlands, acanthus leaves, the dial with cartouches of blue enamelled Roman numerals, surmounted by the arms of the SALTYKOV family, followed by the family motto "For loyalty, zeal and works" in a scroll. The monogram JS under a Russian princely crown is that of Prince Jean Soltykoff (1831 - 1906), second son of Peter Saltykoff. Suspension type Brocot, stamp and balance. Work known as "the Black Forest" in the Louis XVI style at the end of the 19th century H. 73 cm - L. 36 cm Prince Pierre (Petr Dmitievitch) Saltykoff (1804 - 1889) who settled in Paris in 1846 was one of the greatest collectors of his time: he had, among other things, the most important medieval collection in the middle of the XIX century. Ruined, he had to dispose of his collections, which were dispersed at Drouot; the collection of arms inherited from his brothers was divided between Napoleon III for the western arms and armor and Alexander II for the eastern arms. We thank Mr. Filatoff for the identification and translation of these coats of arms, monogram and motto.
