Antique American Clocks
H & F Paris brass garniture, ca. 1870.
I have to think this clock and candelabra set have been
replated, they just look too good.
I think it also has been lacquered to prevent oxidation.
There are a few issues:
There is a slight fracture in the brass top piece near where the birds are roosting, but it is not a complete break.
some copper oxidation on the birds and one wing was broken off and reattached.
One arm on a candelabra is broken but stays in
The dial is signed with the retailer but it is incomplete.
The pendule de Paris is signed H & F Paris, and
numbered; it is running and striking on the hours and half-hours without issue.
There is a slightly bowed and beveled glass
in the bezel; there is even a candle snuffer!
The clock stands 14.25 inches tall, the candelabras are 16 inches.
As garnitures go, this one is as nice as they come.
