426. $75
Japy Freres black marble figural, ca. 1880. The black marble case is 17 inches wide and 13.5 inches
tall with a figure of Galileo(?) and his assorted paraphernalia; he may be in the original finish. The marble case shows considerable
pitting along the edges and on top. The porcelain dial is behind a flat glass; note that the hands do not match. The signed
pendule de Paris movement is out of plumb but will run after adjustment; it strikes the nickel bell on the hours and half-hours. $50-$150.
