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.
