Catalog Description:

C.1880, French, H. Dasson, Paris, Conical Pendulum Clock, marble and gilt bronze, the bronze statue signed P. Machault. This is a nicely restored example, the mounts and statue re-gilded. The dark red and gray marble base has a matching dial with raised bronze numerals. The clock retains its original multipiece pendulum with screw adjustments. The only item that will need attention is the front leg and floral mount where one of the blossoms has been soft soldered in place, and the repair disguised with some gold paint. Anyone good with brazing or silver solder can improve this. Minor loss of marble along rear edge. See clocks operating in this fashion in Derek Roberts' book: Mystery Novelty and Fantasy Clocks, (1999), Chapter 10. The well made bell strike movement is clean and running. Height 25"
