Large French Crystal Regulator Signed “ S.Marti ”
With Fancy Floral Porcelain Dial
Crystal Regulators come and go. With the exception of the more "figural" (cast) cases, most are just 10" brass rectangles with a clock movement tossed inside. This one's a little different... starting with its beautiful dial and exceptional gilded hands, all the way to the floral detail in the case above and below the glasses. The clock is simply a work of art!
Physical: It's taken us awhile, but we had the case completely disassembled and the brass professionally polished and re-lacquered – now it's beautiful! The case is taller than most at 12"h x 7"w x 5.5"d. The painted porcelain dial is 4" in diameter and without cracks or typical hairlines. It's a beauty and features a floral design and foliage-style brass (gilded?) hands. Be sure to look at the closeup photo of the wonderful gilded hands... they just don't make them like this any more. We had this clock around for a very long time before we noticed there is a very small chip on the upper right corner of the left side glass. It is not readily noticeable without looking for it, and certainly not a detractor tot he beauty of this clock.
Mechanical: The movement has been professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order here, striking the cathedral gong on the half hour and the hours. The movement is signed S.Marti (s/n 369858), one of the two major makers of quality French clock movements.
Comments: So, now we get down to the good part. Check out the photos, then take a moment to give us a call and make it your own... or wouldn't it make an awesome present for that new college grad? We look forward to both us and the clock being of service to you!

Unusual Domed French Pillar Clock
 |
|
This is another clock from the estate of a local collector. Cases of this style that we've seen in the past have had a 400-day movement, so this one is quite unique in that regard.
Physical: The brass pillared case measures 9" in diameter x 16"h, and a bit taller with the dome. The pendulum hanger is original, but the bob is a modern replacement. The dial and case have not been messed with... they're both in great shape as you would expect from a clock protected under a dome.
|
Mechanical: The French time and bell-strike countwheel movement needs to be serviced. We can have that done here (at an additional cost to you) if that is more convenient.
Comments: Nice clock priced reasonably... call us!

Small French Cartel Clock
This lovely clock is from the estate of a local collector. Like most cartel clocks, it weighs a ton! According to Kochman (p.208), the Japy "X" stamp on movement was registered on July 9, 1893. We'd place this clock in the 1893-1895 era.
Physical: The case measures 12"w x 22"h x 4"d. The front photo doesn't really do it justice. The beautiful and unusual dial with cartouche porcelain numerals is 5" in diameter. We're not sure if the hands are original... someone more familiar with French movements of this era can make that determination. Both are in excellent original condition.
Mechanical: The movement is filthy as you can see in the closeup photos. It will require a complete servicing prior to use. And it will also need a pendulum bob as the original was not with the clock. We can have that service performed for you here if you like (at an additional cost).
Comments: We've priced this clock WAY under what you would expect to pay for a cartel clock. Heck, with the price of metals skyrocketing, it could be worth a fortune just melted down! Give us a call to arrange shipping to a dining room near you...

Unusual Very Large Ornate French Wall Clock
We'll bet you've never seen one like this... us either! This clock is signficantly large than it appears in the photos. Yes, we understand there is nothing beside to which you can compare, but we wanted you to know in advance that, if you are seeking a LARGE impressive and very decorative wall clock, this should be high on the list of items to consider.
Physical: The French walnut case measures 21"w x 56"h x 5"d. It was recently professionally refurbishedand The case is trimmed with gilded trim pieces throughout. All are present and accounted for. The glass is old and original to the case. The wood dial, typical of many Black Forest area clocks, has cartouche porcelain numerals and is 12" in diameter. Note the lyre pendulum. The rods on which it hangs help compensate for temperature variances and make this a more accurate timekeeper.
Mechanical: The original eight-day time and gong-strike movement strikes on the half hour and the hour. It was professionally overhauled in Dec 2007, so is ready for years of great service for you.
Comments: If you've been looking for a stunning, ornate wall clock, need we say more than to pick up the phone and call us?

A Luscious Work of Art . . . And A Clock Too!
“ La Lettre Du Front ”
(Letter from the Front)
Here is a beautiful French "polychrome" piece for your consideration. Based on its style, the movement, the titling, we believe this is a World War I era piece decorated in the typical (and original) French polychrome method. This beautiful young woman is reading a letter from her lover who is away on the battle field. You can see why he would want to survive the ordeal of war and get back home!
Physical: The entire clock measures 19"w x 15"h x 6.5"d and sits upon a beautiful piece of marble. The figure was recently thoroughly cleaned and waxed for preservation of the color. The brass label says, "La Lettre Du Front" and has the scupltor's name as well (Coffin). There is a closeup photo of the signature in the figure as well. Note, too, the beautiful hand-painted floral porcelain dial which is in excellent condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day bell-strike (countwheel) movement was recently overhauled and is in excellent mechanical condition. Though apparently unsigned, the movement caries serial number 37676.
Comments: The piece is in beautiful condition as you can see. And it will look stunning perhaps on the dresser in your room... in the boudoir, or perhaps on a side table in your dining room. What a great and lasting gift for your special lady, guys!

Large French Figural Garniture Set
Here is a beautiful set that was purchased in Paris by the present owner in 1963 and ran in her flat during the years she lived there. The clock has been in storage for the past 30 years, so the movement will need to be serviced. Several of the photos are "less than optimal", so we offer our apology in advance. But with the other photos you can see for yourself that this is a beautiful garniture set!
Physical: The large figural clock measures 13"w x 26.5"h x 9"d. The candelabra bases measure 4"h x 5.5"w x 5"d with an overall candelabra height of 26.5". The candelabra width at the top is 10.5". The decorated porcelain dial is 3.75" in diameter. There is a small hairline crack by the number 2 on the dial that "blends in" with the floral wreath making it quite inconspicuous. Generally, these can be lightened further with a Q-tip and a drop of chlorine bleach. The dial has beveled glass without any chips. The marble has no cracks or chips... quite unusual for a set like this that's been around for so long!
Mechanical: The well made, eight-day time and bell-strike Vincenti movement has the award medallion (D'Argent Medaille 1855) stamped into the back plate along with the number "1383".
Comments: This is abeautiful set that is waiting for just the right dining room or buffet setting... is it yours? Our consignor is out of room and needs for this clock to go, so she has dramatically reduced the price by over $1,000 dollars. This is a LOT of clock for the money!
Questions? Contact us by phone at 760-604-0262, or e-mail. Unless you live in FL and want to pick it up personally in Sumpter County, the clock will be professionally packed and shipped by The UPS Store.

Delft Clock Set
With 2-Sided Design On Vases
 |
|
Every once in awhile a desperate person calls us up and asks for a Delft clock. We never seem to have them available when they call, and they seem to change their e-mail so we can't find them when we find the darned clock... bummer. So, here's your opportunity to own their clock!
Physical: The clock and vases have no chips or cracks that we could see when we examined them. There is some age-appropriate crazing in the porcelain (typical). They are in excellent overall physical condition. The vases measure 15.6"h x 8"w.
|
|
|
 |
|
The clock measures 9"w x 15.25"h x 6.5"d. The bezel and back door appear to be gold-plated... nice! The porcelain dial measures 3.75" in diameter, so it would generally be considered a 4" dial. It's in excellent original condition. Note that there are two scenes on the vases: one side has trees and the other the traditional "Dutch" windmills. Where is the Man of La Mancha when you need him, anyway?
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only French movement is in excellent running order and ready for years of great service for you.
Comments: This is a lot of clock and decor for not a lot of money. Save money on your next trip to Holland... stay home and enjoy this clock set instead!

Exquisite Black Forest “ Hunter ” Clock
We don't list a lot of Black Forest clocks, so this one's a treat. Take a moment to look at the detailed photos below, then figure out a place where it will work in your mountain cabin... or perhaps over your fireplace in the den at home.
Physical: Walnut hand-carved case is approximately 25" in length and in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos. Note the beautiful porcelain "chicklet" numerals, typical to clocks of this style and origin.
Mechanical: The movement is in good running order.

Large, Fancy Crystal Regulator
Floral Porcelain Dial with Fabulous Hands
Crystal Regulators come and go all the time. With the exception of the more "figural" (cast) cases, most are just 10" brass rectangles with a clock hanging inside. This one's a little different... starting with its size and moving to the detail in the brass (not to mention the absolutely outstanding dial).
Physical: This clock is taller than most at 12"h x 7"w x 5.5"d; The painted porcelain dial is 4" in diameter and without cracks or typical hairlines. This clock is a beauty and features a floral design and foliage-style brass (gilded?) hands. The four beveled glass sides are without the chips or cracks you commonly find on clocks of this style and vintage.
The case has just been restored... polished and lacquered... it's a beauty now! Overall, it's a very beautiful clock. Subtle beauty, not an in-your-face style of clock.
Mechanical: We brought this clock to our home, hung the pendulum, got it leveled, and it started right up. Strikes the cathedral gong on the half hour and the hours. The movement is signed S.Marti (s/n 3698), one of the two major makers of quality french clock movements. We just got the clock back from our technician, who checked it out and made sure all is running smoothly, so it's ready for you now!
Summary: So, now we get down to the good part. Check out the photos, then take a moment to send us a note to let us know you want to purchase it. We look forward to being of service!

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.
