'Autumn' Bronze Clock set by Charny
Lovely French bronze and rosso and black marble clock set with silvered bronze nude girl, signed to the back of the girls scarf Charny. The lady, squirrel, clock face, squirrel panels to each end of the clock and the panels on the garnitures are all of bronze - the clock face being a particularly lovely example of deco stylisation. The condition is very good but with some silvering loss to the bronze in places, especially the nude lady, where the bronze is shining through. The clock is working and apart from an old crack to the rear of one of the garnitures which looks like a fissure, the rest is very good and original. Height is 16 inches (41cm), 16.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep (17cm).

Bronze Egyptian Clock Set
Stunning bronze sphynx clock set, very heavy and made from cream onyx sandwiched by rosso red marble. The clock itself is suspended by the sphynx's wings and the floral bronze pendulum hangs in the void. The two sphynxs are female with wings, bobbed hairdo and breasts with lions bodies. The quality is exceptional - it even has bronze beeding and feet. In addition there are a pair of stunning tazza style garnitures also adorned in bronze, each measuring 7 inches high (18cm). I cannot find a signature but it must have been a very expensive item when new and it is of obvious quality. The clock is working and condition is very good with just some minor wear to the clock face. Clock measures 23.5 inches long, 7.5 inches deep and 12 inches high (60x19x30cm).
Currently awaiting auction at Bonhams Egyptian Sale, January 2008.
