256.          $350

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.
