Antique American Clocks July 2020
128. $400
French Boulle portico, ca. 1880. A beautifully ornate black lacquer portico with brass, shell,
and tortoise shell inlay, 22 inches tall. There is an ornate gilded brass sash around the porcelain dial signed “Dellon Freres”
in Paris. The back of the 8-day, time and half-hour strike pendule de Paris movement is also signed, and the gilded pendulum
matches the sash. Yes, there are missing pieces of inlay and the dial has been repaired at the winding arbors, but overall,
this clock is in excellent condition. It is running and striking without issue. $400-$800.
