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...

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.

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.
