St. Michael the Archangel clock, ca. 1880.  A heavy and impressive bronze clock and sculpture of St. Michael the Archangel crushing the Devil.  The statue is just under 23 inches tall and 16 inches wide; note the dragons on each side of the base.  The 4-inch black dial has brass numbering and hands and sits behind a beveled glass in a brass sash; it was sold by “H. Clement A Chinon”.  Chinon is located southwest of Paris in the Loire Valley, notable for its many beautiful chateaus.  The 8-day pendule de Paris movement is unsigned; I cannot persuade it to run.  The pendulum is a replacement. An impressive piece.  $500-$1000.
