544.    $175

Veritable Westminster Carillon wall clock, ca. 1925.  This French clock is 23 inches tall and 19 inches wide with a contrasting walnut veneer on the front, accented by lighter wood inlays and carved grape leaves and grapes on either side. There is a painted metal dial in front of a triple-wind movement that plays Westminster chimes on the quarter hours on four chime rods.  It also strikes the hours on a second set of 4 chime rods but needs to see a clock maker for adjustment, as the pin that lifts the hammers needs to be replaced.  The art deco case is in excellent shape and the clock is running and keeping time. This clock and the one that follows are a bit nicer that the carillon clocks one typically sees; notes inside say both were brought back from Germany.  $175-$250.
