Antique American Clocks                      January 2020

455.    $150

Descartes Mini-Morbier, 2004. This lovely and diminutive wag-on-the-wall is just 40 inches long, with a painted and signed porcelain dial and hand-painted brass repoussé face plate and pendulum.  The brass, 8-day time-and-strike movement is by a German firm, SBS Feintechnik, who make movements for cuckoo clocks.  It strikes a bell on top of the clock; a pull-handle behind the pendulum turns the strike on or off.  It is running and striking, driven by two black wag-on-the-wall-style weights.  It is missing its slide-in backplate.  Descartes, a German company, made antique reproduction wall clocks; this one originally sold for $546.  $150-$250.

Can I return my clock if I don’t like it?

 

Absolutely!  Save your packing and box, you have 30 days from receipt to return it if you are unhappy.  If the clock is not as described, or we missed something important and that is not evident from the pictures, we will refund your shipping costs (both ways) as well.  Find another auction company that does that!
