This is an extremely unusual little clock that has not only an exposed escapement, but an exposed balancewheel. The extraordinary little case also features silvered mounts.

Physical: The brass case, which measures 5"w x 10"h x 3.5"d is in excellent physical condition. The porcelain dial, which measures 4.5" in diameter (quite wide for a clock that is only 5" in width!) is in excellent condition with some very minor hairlines that we noticed only when reviewing our photos. The clock is perched on claw feet in the front and the rear.

Mechanical: The eight-day jeweled balancewheel movement is in excellent running order. It is owned and maintained by a master clockmaker.

Comments: This is a spectacular and unusual little clock. Would make a great wedding gift for that very special couple.

We seem to be on a roll lately for finding great French clocks. This one is no exception. Most "empire-style" French clocks that are offered to us are either battered, 30-hour versions, or a combination of the two and thus never make it onto our website. This one is a great exception. It is distinguished not only by being beautiful, but by a 21-day movement and an exceptional dial that has a usually-not-present seconds bit. This clock also features beautiful cast capitols and bases as well as an exceptional and ornate cast brass bezel and pendulum.

Physical: The rosewood case with satinwood edging and inlay measures 10.5"w x 24"h x 6"d. Our consignor has owned this clock for 25 years and believes the prior owner may have had the case refinished at some point ; it looked great to us when we took the photos. The photo reveals a small crack in the top center of the crown that we did not notice standing in front of the clock. The silvered dial is in excellent condition and measures 4.125" in diameter.

Mechanical: The movement is in excellent running order, owned and maintained by a master technician. As mentioned above, it is most unusual in that its running duration is 21 days and it also has a seconds bit.

Comments: Seeking a very formal-looking clock, perhaps for a buffet in your dining room, or on a library shelf in your den? This would make a great contribution to the decor of any room. Call us to begin the process.

This is one of the exceptions to our "be careful which French clocks you list on your site" internal rules. So many of them are either in sub-par condition or are so pedestrian in style that they are not a good fit for our clientele. This tiny little clock is a wonderful exception to that rule. We don't personally collect "frilly" clocks, but this is one that we personally find very desirable. Take a close look at the detailed photos below.

Physical: The gilded and silvered spelter case, which measures 8"w x 13"h x 5.5"d features a cherub and floral three-dimensional motif and a pastoral country scene on hand-painted porcelain panels below and inside the dial as well as on the two side panels. It is in excellent physical condition overall.

Mechanical: The eight-day countwheel time-and-strike movement was professionally serviced by one of the top technicians on the West Coast in 2011 and is in excellent running order.

Comments: This is a captivating-looking little clock. Make it your own?

Awesome clock... what more can we say? There is a porcelain inlay in the bottom front section of the clock that says, "H. Eibel, Wien", so we know it was originally sold by this jeweler in Vienna.

Physical: The case on the stand (extremely rare to find them both still together), measures a total of 18.5"w x 15.5"h x 5"d and is in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos below. It retains the original finish. The dial is 4" in diameter and features porcelain "cartouche" numerals, blue on white, a beautiful and very desirable combination. Looks Treat with the black and silver.

Mechanical: The eight-day movement has been professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order. The movement appears to be French, and strikes a bell on the half hour and on the hour.

Comments: This is an absolutely elegant little clock just waiting for you to call and make it your own.

AWESOME!
165 Pounds of Beautiful Figural Clock
Signed “Ernest Felfing” France

Physical: 20"w x 37"h x 13"d This massive spelter clock is all original and in excellent physical condition. We believe the black inserts are polished slate (or possibly marble). The 5" dial is original to the clock and in age-appropriate condition with no visible hairline cracks or chips. Our consignor, who is an antiquities expert, reports that he can find no chips, repairs or damage to the case. The clock came from a 92 year-old collector. It had been in his home for 30-plus years before its relocation to our consignor some years back.Take a look at the photos and get in touch with us if you have serious interest. This is a LOT of clock for the money!

Mechanical: The eight-day, time-and-gong-strike movement is in running order.
