543.    $150

Le Violon chiming wall clock, ca. 1925.  This is an unusual French clock with a barometer and thermometer on the front.  The triple-wind movement plays Westminster Chimes on the quarter-hours and counts the hours, all played on 8 chime rods.   The clock is running just fine and chiming on cue.  The silvered dial shows some wear and rub spots, the dial glass is convex and the lower glasses are beveled.  The 29-inch case is oak.  The thermometer is correct, the barometer, not so much; there is some staining to the paper dial on the right.  $175-$250.
