Raingo Frères:

Raingo Frères were among the most highly regarded Parisian clockmakers of the 19th century, celebrated for their fine craftsmanship and for supplying luxury clocks to the French court and nobility. The use of richly coloured marble and finely chased ormolu exemplifies the firm’s high-quality production and neoclassical taste.
