clock and candelabras,
ca 1890. Green onyx
bases, metal matching
feet, metal statues, and
metal ornaments on the
clock. The clock is 18"
tall and the candelabras
are 14½" tall. Note the
wreath missing from the
left statue, and the onyx
base is cracked, but no
big deal as onyx has a
tendency to separate and
crack at the fault lines. You will find some tiny edge nicks on the onyx.
Beveled glass over the one piece porcelain dial. One hairline at the seven,
otherwise very nice and hands are original. French round movement with
outside count wheel, 8 day runner, striking a brass bell on the hours and
half hours. The movement is not signed, nor is the dial, pendulum and key
with the clock. $300-$500.
mantle set, clock
with statue, and two
candelabras, ca
1890. The three
pieces have been
repainted gold some-
time in the past; they
do not look bad as
the gold paint was
one of the better
shades. Some of the
gold paints are pretty
gaudy in my opin-
ion. The clock is
19½" tall, the candelabras are 19" tall. The marble on all three pieces is
near perfect, perhaps a tiny edge nick here and there. Beveled glass and
machined sash over the one piece painted porcelain dial. Painted numer-
als, flowers, and a bird. Hands are original. Sash and glass over the move-
ment opening in back, glass cracked. Round 8 day French movement,
strikes a brass bell hours and half hours, signed, "Vincenti & Cie". Statue
is not held to the statue, with a bolt, it is loose. Pendulum and key in the
case. $400-$600.
statue. The base is almost identical to
Ansonia's base called "Olympia",
(Ly-Ansonia #1512) and the statue is
a French statue that is original to this
base. French round 8 day movement,
outside count, and bell strike. It is
signed, "F.C." The entire clock and
statue has been repainted, it is com-
plete, original, and it sits on four
large feet. The glass and porcelain
dial are bowed, it has an excellent
dial, hands and numerals have a deco
appearance. Perforated metal back
door, pendulum and key included.
This is a nice clock and I am afraid
most people would think it is
Ansonia. $600-$750.
English market, ca 1885. The clock was
probably made by New Haven or E. N.
Welch. It is the "Rolling Pin" style case
with three rolling pins on the bottom, top
section with the movement and dial, are
held to the case body by pegs, in the
English style. Walnut case has inlays
around the top, the door, and between the
rolling pins, and there are carved "ears"
on each side of the door. The 34" high
case is very attractive, clean, and com-
plete. Brass bezel and glass over the
painted dial. The dial is in good condition
with a couple of very small scratches.
The hands and pendulum bob are possi-
bly original. Movement is unsigned, run-
ning 8 days, and bell strike. $400-$600.
"Occidental", ca 1891. Walnut
case in original untouched condi-
tion and only lightly polished
leaving dark places in the corners
and grooves. Silver statues,
finials, and other metal ornaments
are original. Signed paper dial is a
replacement, on the old pan,
hands are correct. The mirrors on
the sides are perfect which leads
me to think they may be replace-
ments. Great door glass, featuring
two birds in the lily pond. Old
pendulum with needle for adjust-
ing slow-fast, leaves attached to
the lyre pendulum rod. Most of a
paper label on the back, now cov-
ered with plastic, and a key
inside. Movement is 8 day, strik-
ing a Cathedral gong. We believe
#1040. $500-$750.
piece clock set,
ca 1885. The
clock is brass,
the candelabras
are metal. All
three pieces
have a good fin-
ish and all have
matching porce-
lain inserts.
There are a zil-
lion cast parts
on the three
pieces and I
ous to me. All six porcelain pieces, including the dial, are perfect, having
no chips or even hairlines. Both candelabras have snuffers; I forgot to put
one in the picture. Beveled glass over the super porcelain dial, and origi-
nal hands. Metal hinged door over the back, pendulum and key included.
8 day round French movement strikes a standing gong on hours and half
hours. It is signed, "Vincenti & Cie". The clock is 17½" high, the cande-
labras are 23" high. $500-$750.
