Four Airs “Carillon de Besançon”, ca. 1925.  This French carillon clock is 23 inches tall by 20 inches wide with contrasting graining of the walnut veneers and a lighter wood trim, and trim pieces of carved walnuts as well as a nickel door handle.  The dial glass is slightly convex and there is a pattern painted on the pendulum glass.  There is a two-tone silver dial and silver hands.  The triple-wind movement plays four different chimes on the quarter hours on six chime rods; one chime is Westminster, the other three I do not recognize, but they are quite pleasant.  The clock counts the hours on four additional chime rods.  You select the chime by moving a lever inside on the left.  The clock is running, chiming, and striking as expected.  Again, the art deco case is in excellent condition.  Besançon is a city in eastern France, the capital of French watchmaking, and is home to a famous 70-dial astronomical clock and The Musée du Temps (Museum of Time).  $250-$500.
