Antique American Clocks January 2020
445. $100
A.D. Mougin green marble garniture, ca. 1870. Green marble clock and tazza side pieces for those
who like marble, a lot. The clock is 18.5 inches high and 15 inches across; the side pieces are 10.5 inches high. The
marble on all could stand to be cleaned up, but there are no chips or cracks. The two-part porcelain dial with visible escapement
and ruby pallets is faintly marked in the gold inset “J Gaujard, Orleans”, behind a beveled flat glass. The two-vial mercury-containing
pendulum is displayed in the window in front of a mirrored back door; the front glass is beveled. There is a crack in the rear
mirror across the top left corner. The pendule de Paris movement with external count wheel is stamped with the Mougin logo;
it is running, but the strike is not setting. The entire set weighs 62 lb, the record for this group of clocks. I recommend
delivery or pick-up; contact me for delivery options and cost. $150-$250.
