'Turkish Delight' by Gilly
This huge clock measures 24 inches long, 5.5 deep and 20 inches high to her
raised hand. The base is of Belgian Black marble, with brown marble and
cream onyx back wall detailing. The cream clock is attached to this back
wall and gives the appearance of almost being suspended in mid air - which
it is - partially. The face glass of the clock is curved and the clock is in
working order - having a mechanical movement. The lady is absolutely
stunning, she is made of spelter and is a French piece by Gilly but unsigned. She has
a dark eastern skin tone and wears a wonderful Harem costume, complete with
pointed toe shoes. Condition is very good, but there is a chip off of the LH
corner of the clock as you look at it, and the lady wobbles a little when
moved. Probably too much smoking of the pipe! An extremely unusual clock -
that one is unlikely to ever see again! I also have this piece as a statue only (F1256).

 Bronze Squirrel Clock
This wonderful stylised French bronze clock is a mix of stylisation and cubism. The quality is exceptional. The bronze patinated squirrels sit on a chromed bronze plate on a grey and verdigris marble base. The quality movement is stamped 'Medallie D'Argent 1855'. The base measures 14.5 x 6 inches deep and the height is 10 inches. The condition is excellent with just a little wear to the chrome plating on the tray where the bronze is showing through, and the opaque glass door at the back of the clock has a crack.

 Bird Lady Clock Set
French spelter, black marble and brown and green onyx circular themed clock with matching garnitures and to one side a spelter lady holding a bird in her hand. The clock has a mechanical movement - so no pendulum. The approx. size is 20 inches by 14 inches high (51x36cm). Condition is very good.

 China Clock
A stylised blue china clock depicting a lady feeding deer, measuring 15 inches long and 10 inches high. Condition is good and I have had the clock working, but the advance and retard lever has to be adjusted from inside the rear cover. Consequently, I am selling as a non-runner - perhaps ready for a quartz conversion. Ref: CL525 . . . £145 |
 Ceramic Lady-Clock
A French, pale blue ceramic clock depicting a lady and ball. The clock works and measures 11 inches long, 2 inches deep and 5 inches high, condition is good but with a few underglaze marks and I believe the back cover has to be removed to adjust the advance/retard mechanism.
Ref: CL528 . . . Reserved |

Central is a green onyx ribbed clock mounted on a craem onyx base which measures approx 24 inches long, 8 inches deep and totals approx 14 inches high. The pyramid shaped marble blocks are of Sienna marble. Condition is good, the clock has a mechanical movement and is working.
