Note knife edge suspension to the pendulum, pinwheel escapement, quarter strike all signs of the fine quality of Lefebre’s workmanship. Clock is mounted on a black marble base. Style and quality similar to the skeleton clocks made by Hubert Sarton.

Information Les Boty ( Bôty, Botty). Nicolas Boty was ‘maître horloger’ in 1770. One of his sons Mathieu-Joseph had a workshop in 1799. He was married in 1816 to Maria-Ida Lefèvre. He worked as clockmaker in association with his father in 1788. Later an association with Lefèbvre is apparent (Lefèbvre, à Chênee and J.J. Lefèbvre).
