Antique American Clocks
Japy Freres & Cie yellow marble garniture, ca. 1870.
Who doesn't love a set of candelabras with
their large (massive?) figural clock?
This sculpture by Louis-Auguste Moreau of a girl picking pears from a tree is 19 inches
high, on top of the clock base of 7.5 inches.
The matching vase candelabras are 26 inches high on small marble bases.
There is a porcelain dial, Breguet hands, and a beveled flat glass in a heavy brass bezel, with brass ornaments surrounding on ornate
brass feet.
The statue has been repainted, or at least touched up with gold accents, I believe.
The same is true for the
candelabra.
Nonetheless, they all look good with a lacquered finish.
The pendule de Paris is marked Japy Freres &
Cie; it is running and striking, but the hammer needs to be reattached to the arm with a bit of super glue.
The statue will
be detached from the clock for shipping, reassembly is not difficult.
