 Rare Domino Clock Set by Lavroff
This is an amazing top quality clock set, unsigned but I believe by George Lavroff. Clock is made of Brazilian and brown onyx and on top sits a silvered bronze nude, playing Dominoes (or possibly strip Dominoes). Face of the clock has domino numerals and is also bronze - in very Lavroff style. The clock is complimented by a pair of matching garnitures also with bronze stacked domino detailing. Clock is currently in storage but from memory I would guess the measurements to be approx 16 inches long by 16 inches high (41 cm x 41 cm) but I can confirm. Condition is good, with some age related wear to the silvering on the lady and the clock movement has been replaced at some time with a quartz - hence the low price.

 Bronze Sphynx Clock by Lavroff
A wonderful quality bronze and onyx clock - unsigned by probably by Georges Lavroff. It measures 16.5 inches long, 5.5 inches deep and 11.5 inches high and is made of brown and green onyx with bronze appliques, clock face and Ramesis head on the top. The clock is in good working order and in good general condition, having just a few expected minor nibbles to the onyx and one hairline crack to one side foot.

 Bronze Decoux Panther Clock Set
An unsigned bronze panther by Decoux, stamped bronze in his back leg. Supported on gold and chrome pillars - the marble is of portorro and brown onyx and is complemented by a pair of gold dished garnitures. It is complete with its unusual chrome and copper pendulum and is in good original condition and is working well. There are a few chips to some of the marble corners and there is also an old crack or possibly an old repair in the marble which supports the bronze panther. The crack doesnąt appear to be all the way through and is very stable. The clock measures 15 inches high and 12 inches wide.

 Spelter Lady Clock Set
A brown and cream onyx clockset with black triangular detail. The lady and birds with lightly toned colouring and encrusted flower detail on the spelter plynth base. The clock face is immaculate and the general condition is excellent with less than usual marble chips. The spelter lady is holding flowers above a pair of doves. The set consists of a pair of matching garnitures. The clock measures 17 inches wide by 16 inches high and 4 inches deep, is in very good working condition and with an unusual movement in the back, having no pendulum or separate key, but a built in key in the back indicates why the clock face is so well preserved as the glass door has probably never been opened! This clock is silent, so doesnąt have chimes, only an advance and retard mechanism.
