Gazo Santa Maria Monumental Wall Clock ~ 84 ”
|
|
|
|
|
We've only had a few of these clock before. Not sure how many the Gazo Family Clock Factory made of this particular model, but it wasn't a heckuva lot. But it's a heckuva clock, that's for sure! The crown carving makes this a very attractive and desirable piece that will draw top attention wherever it's hung. We just sold this same exact model from a home in Chicago and were able to negotiate the same price on this one!
Physical: First of all, this is a gorgeous clock. We usually don't precede the facts with observations, but this is an exception to the fact! It's hanging here in our office and running like a champ, too.
The walnut-stained alder case measures 26.5"w x 84"h x 19"d and is in excellent physical condition having just been professionally refurbished. The original 9" diameter dial is a special fancier-than-most engraved Gazo dial with applied circular porcelain (cartouche) numerals.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement is in excellent running order and was overhauled in Jan 2010. This clock is presently hnaging here in our office and runs like a champ. It has a deep, resonant tone that makes you think you're hearing a big tallcase clock!
Shipping: This clock will be shipped using our blanket-wrap furniture mover. They are extremely reasonable and deliver directly from our door to yours. Get a lagbolt in the wall and they'll hang it there for you. We make the arrangements in your behalf and you pay them directly for their services. We no longer crate clocks unless they are going outside of the U.S. as even great crating still puts the item at the mercy of the general trucking companies who move that kind of freight. We've had consistent wonderful results using this blanket-wrap mover.
Comments: If you're a Gazo collector you know what to do. If you've just been looking for a very large and impressive wall clock then take action on one of these. You're not going to find many large wall clocks in this price range that come close to this!
Questions? Contact us by phone at 760-604-0262, or e-mail.
Note about photos: Large clocks are generally very difficult to photograph except for commercial photographers who bring in big lighting. We have an external flash for our Nikon DSLR, but still find it nearly impossible to get the entire clock lit evenly.
Note about case color: In our opinion, the bright flash somewhat distorts the color of the clock in many of the photos below, making it look more "reddish" than it appears to the eye. The photo to the left and the lower right and base of the clock most closely represent the color we perceive with our eyes.

GREAT BUY: Gazo “ Scottsdale ” in Alder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Original 1889 catalogue drawing for the E.Howard Regulator No. 57
after which the Gazo Scottsdale was patterned.
|
Over the years we have had and sold many Gazo Family Clock Factory models in most styles, but this is a first, as the Scottsdale is a seldom-seen model.This stately clock was patterned after the E. Howard Regulator No. 57 from the 1889 catalogue that would be worth around $75k today, if you could even find one. The similarity of design is amazing... but ours is a little less expensive!
Physical: The hand-carved alderwood case measures 22.5"w x 77"h x 10"d and is in great overall condition. This particular clock was recoated with dark furniture lacquer as the original color had faded. There is a small amount of corrosion on the weight. We did not polish it as we think the patina looks better than a shiny weight would, but you could do that if you wished after it arrives. Note the full turned and fluted columns that flank the trunk door, and the detailed carving that was the hallmark of Gazo clocks.
The glass is beveled and also features the original "Scottsdale Regulator" lettering, unique amongst Gazo clocks. The signed porcelain dial measures 13" in diameter with 60-beat seconds bit and is in excellent condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day, single-weight, time-only movement has been professionally serviced by our technician and is in excellent running order.
Comments: This is an impressive big wall clock, and is presently hanging on the wall in our family room. Because of the large windows in the front of our home you notice it immediately from outside when you turn onto our cul-de-sac, and especially at night. Many have commented on what a lovely, stately clock it is. And it could be a lovely, stately clock in your home, too with just a simple phone call...

Very Motivated Seller Slashed Price
Gazo “ San Franciscan ” in Oak
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
Here is the second tallest of the Gazo Family Clock Factory tallcase clocks, influenced by the incredible 1888 E.Howard Regulator No.79, the original catalogue drawing of which is shown to the right. Even in this crazy real estate market, you might have to exchange your house for a Howard 79 to afford it. Our exquisitely executed Gazo San Franciscan in oak is a little less expensive! We sold this same clock is the less-expensive alder wood case a few months back for $8,500.
Physical: The dark Oak case is in excellent condition and retains the original finish and beveled glass throughout. It measures 99.75"h x 28.25"w x 20"d. Bearing serial number 105, the case features a pair of cherubs over a lion's head on the crown, with a pair of urn finials on both corners and fully turned columns on the bonnet, trunk and base. The 11" engraved brass dial features a seconds bit and porcelain "cartouche" numerals.
Mechanical: The triple weight, rod-strike chiming movement plays Westminster and Whittington chimes. It is in good running order. The engraved weights are original to the clock as is the unique Gazo cast brass pendulum bob.
Shipping: If you're within driving distance, you can come pick up the clock. Otherwise, we will arrange for one of our blanket-wrap movers to pick it up and bring it safely to your door. Less expensive than crating and far more safe for the clock.
Comments: If you've been waiting for a Gazo San Franciscan model here it is, waiting for you. If you've been seeking an impressive big clock for your entry, or perhaps your office, this one will definitely fit the bill. Wherever it is placed, it will be a real attention-getter. Don't forget, this is a WHALE of a deal... and it won't bite you!

Extremely Rare Gazo “London Bank Gallery” in Oak
|
|
|
|
|
We have had numerous requests over the years for this model from the Gazo Family Clock Factory, but have never had one accessible to us in the past, so we're delighted to present this GREAT BIG gallery clock for your consideration... great in your entry, over a large mantle, or perhaps in the office. It is aptly named as this was a very popular style in Nineteenth Century England.
Physical: The large highly carved oak case, with serial number BC/026/O, measures 28.75"w x 40.5"h x 6"d. The first photos (some below) that our client sent us showed the case to be kind of dusty, so we had them get some lemon oil and give it a good cleaning. You'll be able to see the difference between several of the photos.
The 8" diameter etched brass dial has a crest above the hand arbor and the Gazo signature below. Dial and hands, like the finish and the rest of the clock, are all original.
Mechanical: The eight-day rod-strike (Westminster) chiming movement is in running order. Our consignor says it has been a number of years since it was last serviced, so it is running a bit slow. So you should plan to have the movement serviced when it arrives.
Comments: Been seeking to expand your Gazo collection? Been seeking a large, stately wall clock? Just looking for the right clock for your office? We're ready if you are.

Note RE Gazo Cast Brass Pendulums: Several times each year we are contacted by people who have a Gazo clock that is that is missing its cast-brass pendulum, either from one of the smaller models (San Marcos, Coronado, Palo Alto, Ramona) or from one of the tallcase models with the angel bob. We took the bobs you see below to an antiquities casting professional who made molds of each. If you happen to be one of those people who need assistance with either of these two pendulums, please contact us directly. They are not inexpensive by any means, but are faithful copies of the real thing. Unfortunately, we have no practical way to replace ether the round, etched pendulum bobs, or etched or stamped weights.
