French marble cased clock with the typical round French 8-day movement and a standing gong, ca 1880. Neither the movement or dial is signed. The nice black marble case is 14 inches wide and 9 inches tall. On the back is a hinged brass door. There is a beveled glass in the brass sash over the two-piece porcelain dial and Brocot escapement. The dial is very nice except for one tiny repair at 9 o’clock. The marble is two toned with numerous incised decorations on the front that are gold filled. Overall a very nice example of the French marble clocks. $150-$300.

French clock, more elaborate than the normal French clocks we get, but not without its problems. The brass/bronze clock tower and side statue are mounted to a marble base. The base is resting on large round brass feet. On the back is a hinged sash with a bowed glass over the movement opening. On the front is a beveled glass in the brass sash. The black marble dial in this example is outstanding with deep incised numerals that are gold filled. On the top of the clocks are some books, one is opened. The hunter with his gun is holding a bird I assume he just killed. Great clock with only one problem, the ornament on the right side of the clock is missing. This piece is 14 inches wide and 14 ½ inches tall. The pendulum is correct, the 8-day movement is signed, “Japy Freres” and “Blot aLRouard”, and it is running and striking the nickel bell attached to the back of the movement. $250-$500.

Black marble cased clock, 17 inches wide, 9 inches high, clean and original. Neither the movement nor dial are signed. There is some ornamental marble on the front and a lot of incised, gold filled, designs. Over the dial is the sash with beveled glass. There is a very nice two-piece porcelain dial, original hands, and the French Brocot escapement. On the back is the typical brass, cloth covered door with incised designs to let the chimes better escape the case. The pendulum is the correct type, the 8-day movement is running and striking the standing gong as intended. $150-$300.

French 2-piece porcelain clock, “Old Paris”, ca 1865. The 8-day round French movement is signed, “Gilbert E.A. Paris”, and it has the typical makers circle with a name in it that I cannot read without taking the clock apart. The clock is 18 inches high, has no big problems just the usual small hairlines in the porcelain and the dial. The 8-day silk thread movement is running and striking a bell attached to the movement. The dial has a small chip at the strike arbor and some unappealing hairlines. The hands are correct, so is the pendulum and winding key. Overall a very eye-catching clock that I have paid over $1000 for in the past. $300-$450.

Shaker coffin clock. The last one I sold was 10 years ago. The 32-inch-high pine case has been nicely stained and has painted designs over the front. There is no cover over the dial, and was never intended there be one. The same with the opening at the base. The 8-day movement is running and striking half hours and hours on 3 gongs. The strike sounds twice on the half hours and twice for each hour on the hour. If it strikes 2 o’clock it will strike the gong 4 times but the 4^th ring will sound on the 3^rd gong. That is the only time it sounds, at the end of each hour. Why, I don’t know. $100-$200.
