Catalog Description:

C.1885, French, Three Graces, Annular Dial Clock SET, with matching candelabras in good original condition. This set came out of a home in New York and has not been serviced. The globe has some chips in the blue cobalt paint; movement is dirty and the candelabras had been electrified some time ago, and would look a bit better with the sockets and wiring removed (will still look fine). This is the way many collectors would like to find a clock, with good potential from a normal cleaning and restoration. We have never seen matching candelabras for this clock and it is a real bonus to have them; note the female figures are identical, except with candle holders instead of the clock in their hands. See virtually identical clock pictured in Tardyis La Pendule Francaise , part II, page 291, fig 3 (less side pieces). Although movement will need cleaning, it is complete and sound. Height 31 inches
