 Huge Clock set by Dauvergne
French spelter Diane The Huntress and leaping ibex clock case made of sunray onyx in cream, green and brown, and with a pair of matching garnitures. Currently in storage so measurements from memory are approx. 30 inches long, 20 inches high (76x51cm). Unsigned but by Dauvergne as I have signed statues of this same lady. Condition is good with some minor age wear to the patina and a few onyx chips.

 Huge Diane Clock by Uriano
A huge 27 inches (to the tip of the Ivoreen bow) high, Diane spelter figural
clock. She is standing in front of a marble and onyx sunray design wall with a
clock in it. The clock has a mechanical movement and is working. The black marble base is 27 inches long and 6.5 inches deep.
Condition is pretty good with some age wear to the patina and enamelling.

 Comical Clock by Fanjo
French spelter clockset with cross-eyed toucans holding nuts in their beaks, and signed Fanjo, which I believe was a psuedonym of Moreau. Cream and brown circular onyx casing with matching garnitures and black marble base. The clock measures (from memory) approx. 14 x 13 inches high (36x33cm), but sizse needs to be confirmed. Condition is good with just some minor marble chips.

Pearlised Celluloid Clock Set
This is so unusual I'm not sure where to begin. A French clock-set made of
wood and covered in the most fantastic early celluloid veneering - in brown,
black, green and a pearlised cream, with a marketry style. As if this is not
enough, it is accompanied by a spelter figural scene with a lady, bird and
dogs. I cannot find a signature but it shows all the signs of being by SEGA.
The clock measures approx 23 inches long, and 10 inches to the top arch of
the clock, whilst the lady stands about 13 inches high (to the tip of the
birds wing). The dogs have a golden patina and the lady is a silvery-grey
with a tint of blue to her dress (typical of Sega). To accompany this
wonderful clock are two amazing garnitures of octagonal shape - again with
the pearlised celluloid. Note the zigzag detailing to the front sections of
the set. The condition is very good, and I have had the clock running but it
did not maintain its tick, with a clean I think it would run well.

Marble & Bronze Lady and Geese Clock
This quality bronze clock is French and the bronze figures have a silvered
patina. The clock is approx 15 inches wide and the lady sits 15 inches high.
The clock has a good quality Japy movement and an enamel face.
It is in working order and the spotless enamel clock face is signed by
Laporotte Herbel with a curved bevelled edge glass. Around the clock-face
there is lovely bronze gold gilded floral detailing. The marble on this
clock is exceptional being in a marketry design in Portorro, and Sienna
marble and now rare Brazilian onyx.
