French garniture set with girl figural, ca. 1890. A three-piece
garniture set in bronze with green marble bases and gilded feet and ornaments. The girl is 26 inches tall, 17 inches wide in
a high-quality casting, as are the side pieces. The pendule de Paris movement is unsigned; it is running and striking on the
hours and half-hours. The dial glass is convex and beveled, the decorated porcelain dial has several hairline cracks. On the right of the clock stand is a child’s figurehead spewing water with two fish heads at the bottom. The girl has a wooden
bucket on top of the clock. Probably the nicest garniture set I have had to offer. $350–$750.
