Antique American Clocks
A.D. Mougin marble figural, ca. 1870.
A 13.5-inch statue of "L'Art" as indicated on the nameplate
at the base of the statue and signed Rousseau, presumably Victor Rousseau (1865-1954).
It appears to me that it has been repainted.
It sits on a highly figured pink marble base, 7.5 inches high and 11 inches wide, holding a pendule de Paris movement signed S. Marti.
Assuming the movement is original to the base, the figurine must be a later replacement for the original top piece.
porcelain dial sits behind a flat beveled glass, surrounded by a brass ornamental wreath on four brass feet.
The clock is running
and the strike alarms but does not follow through.
