Description

AD Mougin marquetry shelf clock, ca. 1900. A 13-inch wooden case with mahogany veneer and extensive and detailed marquetry on the front and sides. There are some cracks to the veneer on top. There are two brass columns on each side, four brass feet, and four brass urn finials. The decorated porcelain dial sits behind a convex beveled glass, with ornate gilt hands. The 8-day, time and half-hour strike pendule de Paris movement is signed and running, striking on the cathedral gong. A very nice example of an unusual French style. $150–$300.
