Antique American Clocks January 2020
429. $75
A.D. Mougin marble figural, ca. 1870. A 13.5-inch statue of “L’Art” as indicated on the nameplate
at the base of the statue and signed Rousseau, presumably Victor Rousseau (1865-1954). It appears to me that it has been repainted. It sits on a highly figured pink marble base, 7.5 inches high and 11 inches wide, holding a pendule de Paris movement signed S. Marti. Assuming the movement is original to the base, the figurine must be a later replacement for the original top piece. The floral
porcelain dial sits behind a flat beveled glass, surrounded by a brass ornamental wreath on four brass feet. The clock is running
and the strike alarms but does not follow through. $75-$150.
