1750-1815) began his career as a trinitaire, one of the ouvrier libre who received eight years of training in a craft at the Hôpital de la Trinité.

After completing his studies he was made Master of the Guild in 1789 and quickly achieved renown for his movements and case designs. Of particular note were the skeleton clocks Folin designed and had enameled by Georges-Adrien Merlet (French, b. 1854-1802). Merlet would come to be one of the most highly regarded enamelers of the period, equal only to Joseph Coteau and H. Fr. Dubuisson.

A similar clock by Folin and enameled by Merlet is included in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. This example is illustrated in Gillian Wilson, D.H. Cohen, et. al, European Clocks in the J. Paul Getty Museum, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 1996, pp.

6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer.

The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects.

7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.

8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale.
