(A) Shall we begin with two cats
stalking a pair of intertwined lovebirds? What's the metaphor
here, don't kiss in public? I for one wouldn't think of
it!!!
Awwwwwww....
I wish I had wings too. Our frustrated
cats are silver-plated and patinated white metal, as are their
would-be quarry; other metal decorations are silver-plated brass.
The clock chimes on the half hour and hour, a very delicate "ding-ding,"
which will delight you, not oppress you! The works have been
professionally cleaned and adjusted. The clock is about 23 inches
wide, 4 1/2 deep, and about 10 high, and, of course, made principally
of marble. (e-mail

(D) Hey there, do you have a working
motor I can buy for this clock??? It's Paul Frankl's design masterpiece
by Telechron. There's slight denting to the sides (more on the
left, which you can see here). And, the top suffers some loss
to the silver plating. This American icon measures 5 3/4 wide
by 7 3/4 high.
Gone but most assuredly not
forgotten! SOLD!

(F) Another wind-up, this one from
Japan. On an onyx base with red plastic of some sort, very Modernist
design... It measures 7 3/8 inches wide, 4 3/4 high. (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(I) The New Haven Clock Company
brought us this beauty, which is one piece of mirrored glass
(it bends around on the bottom to form the base upon which is
stands). The face is made of black glass. It measures a substantial
11 inches wide and is 7 tall. It's in almost mint condition!

(J) Another personal favorite,
this elegant American beauty by G.E. The hands are chromed, the
base polished aluminum. The numbers are mirrored, and stand out
gloriously against the creamy white face. There is a switch on
the back which illuminates a bulb under the base, which in turn
sends light up through the face! It's the sexiest night light
imaginable... It measures 8 inches wide, 7 1/4 tall. (e-mail

(K) By Dep, an honored name in
French clocks. This wall-mounting clock can, of course, be used
on the table as shown. But at the large dimensions of 11 3/4
inches square it's definitely ready to be seen from afar. The
wood is in superb condition, and the numerals and the band around
the clock are of polished aluminum, tres chic! (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(M) This French clock boasts Macassar
ebony on its face; the top and sides are veneered with Carpathian
elm. Yum, yum! And... fully restored works! Measurements: 17
W, 10 H.
BRUCE nabbed this beauty, while
everyone else was napping! SOLD!!

(O) This could easily be considered
the finest set I've ever hauled out of France, depending on your
tastes. VERY FORMAL, VERY RICH!! Bronze ornamentation throughout,
luscious design, impeccible condition. The clock itself measures
22 across, 10 1/2 high, and is massively heavy!!!
Even the back is finished in marble! The width of the "garnitures"
is about 6 1/2 at the top. It's got an 8-day movement, with chimes.

(Q) Here's a grouping of three
cute French marble and onyx clocks, all by the Dep company. Each
clock is about seven inches tall. Aren't these designs just the
nuts? (e-mail
Jack for a price)

(R) This clock makes me think of
our California surfers who are -- what's the expresion, "shooting
the tube," something like that (can you tell there are no
knobs on these knees?)? The clock, whose marble face matches
the slab under the supporting bronze "wave," appears
to be "shooting the tube" -- at least in my impoverished
imagination... So whether you're a surfer or a CEO, wouldn't
this clock just elevate the credenza behind your desk? As the
original works were beyond repair, I've had a quartz movement
installed, and whaddaya know, it keeps perfect time!!! Change
the battery once a year! Majestically perched on a black marble
base, it's 14 1/2 inches wide, about 10 1/2 high. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
|
(G) A sublimely spare and handsome
American peach glass clock 6 1/2 inches tall, 6 wide, marked
"Chesler Product, Brooklyn, NY." It's an unmarked Hammond
movement, in fact... The base is 1/2 inch thick!
Sorry, this clock now tells
time on the East Coast (don't forget the difference!) SOLD!!
|
(L) Green onyx and red marble,
silvered bronze mounts, and a Mother of Plastic face take this
massively heavy French Art Deco clock right over the top! Even
the back has marble facing! It measures 22 1/2 wide, 11 1/2 high.
Fully restored works, and it chimes demurely (I know, you were
expecting a Chinese gong...).
Sorry, this extravaganze of
rich materials has found a new home! SOLD!
|
(H) Parchment, from France of course.
What a restrained, sculptural look. It's a wind-up, and measures
5 3/4 inches wide by 6 3/8 high, by the Jaz company.
Sorry, Susan's found the perfect
spot for this Jaz-gem! SOLD!!
|
(N) This large (over a foot and
a half wide) ATO clock even has the original ATO battery inside
it, a museum-worthy addition to an already breathtaking item.
Fully restored, runs perfectly!
Yo' too late, Momma; Dave's
the proud owner of this marble palace! SOLD!
|
(E) I think this is made of rosewood.
It's by the Jaz clock company in France, another honored name.
There's a small chip on the left rear top, which you can just
make out in this photo. Distinctive numbers! It measures 5 3/8
wide, 6 1/8 high, and runs for eight days (it's a wind-up).
This exceptional rosewood beauty
has made its way to John's in New York City: SOLD!!
