Probably the biggest difference between luxury in today’s world and luxury in the past is the relative disappearance of custom or bespoke products. In the 18th and 19th centuries much of what was considered luxury was custom made. The wealthy class purchased custom clothing, had jewelry made to their specifications and even had custom fragrances created for themselves. Today most luxury goods are produced and sold.
There are still custom clothiers, shirt makers and boot makers but the common notion of custom made has essentially vanished. This has meant the disappearance for the vast majority of local watch makers and jewelers, custom dress and shirt makers and other custom made products. Not with this Italian maker of Art Inlay Clocks and Furniture.
We are much honored to inform that we are offering a restoration of a beautiful and rare Louis XIV style pendulum clock (1643 – 1715), which was created by the famous furniture maker M. Passerat.
Permission has been given to reproduce this clock, only in a limited quantity. In reconstructing the pendulum clock we will follow the techniques used by the ancient masters respecting the choice of quality materials. The inlay has been exactly reproduced by hand using the Charles-Andre Boulle Style (1642 – 1732), and enriched by the use of superb engraving.
The bronze decorations have been made in “lost wax” (the ancient way) and plated in 24kt gold. They have been chiseled by hand adding prominence to all the details and giving it an unmatched great artistic value.
Due to the limited quantities being produced (every piece with an individual number) and letter of authenticity, we are offering this unique opportunity to only those guests who we know that would be able to estimate the preciousness of this time piece. Please send inquiries to inquiries@ashlijewelers.com.
