Louis XVI period clock signed Antoine Cronier

Beautiful Louis XVI gilt bronze clock by Cronier, second half of the 18th century.
Antoine Cronier, or Crosnier (1732-1806) was a famous 18th-century clockmaker active in Paris, France.
Cronier began his career as an apprentice under Nicolas Pierre Thuillier in 1745 and in 1753 he began working independently, with his workshop opened in 1759 at rue Saint Honoré, 140.
In 1763, he received the title of Maître Horloger. His clocks are mounted with bronzes by Robert, Jean-Baptiste Osmond, Edmé Roy, René François Morlay, Nicolas Bonnet and François Vion, and with cases by cabinetmakers Jean Pierre Latz, Balthazar Lieutaud and François Goyer. He also worked with gilder Honoré Noël and upholsterer Nicolas Leclerc.
Today, his clocks can be found in museum collections including the Musée Nissim de Camondo, the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom, Waddesdon Manor, Harewood House, the Residenzmuseum Munich, the Neue Residenz Bamberg, the Palais Royal Turin, the Musées Royaux d'art et d'histoire de Bruxelles, the Nationalmuseet Stockholm, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Huntington Library and Pavlovsk Palace.
