French wood portico, ca. 1880.  A 19-inch portico clock in a mahogany case with satinwood inlays on the crest, top, floor, and base.  It sits on a 2.5-inch mahogany base, also with satinwood inlay, and that will hold a square glass dome (not included).  There are ebony twisted barley columns on brass plinths with brass capitals, an ornate gilded dial surround and a very poor porcelain dial with numerous cracks and chips.  Time for a replacement there.  The pierced hands are nice.  The pendule de Paris 8-day, time-and-strike movement runs but is out of plumb.  The pendulum bob is dull but fancy.  In fact, the entire clock needs a good cleaning and waxing.  $100-$200.
