Antique American Clocks January 2021
112. $500
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.
