Japy Freres marble portico with candelabras, ca. 1896.  Entitled “Les Deux Pigeons” (note the two birds on the base), a 16.5-inch high white marble portico-style clock with draped brass ornamentation, four marble columns, and three marble finials on a marble base on brass feet.  The porcelain dial is decorated with garlands and brass hands.  The 8-time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking a nickel bell, regulated by a French sunburst pendulum.  It is signed in back; there is a bezel on the back but no glass.  The marble is clean, with no chips or cracks, the brass is reasonably bright. The dial glass is beveled and convex.  There are two small matching candelabra, both unmarred.  $150-$250.
