C.1890, French Etienne Maxant, Paris, well made marble clock

with champleve enamel panels flanking the dial. This is an interesting clock for several reasons. First it is really attractive for a marble clock, and second it has the unique Maxant movement with little handles hidden behind the bezel that are pulled out and then turned like keys to wind the clock. So you can never lose the keys and anyone who looks at the clock is mystified by how you wind it. (F/S regulation is similarly hidden) There are a couple of small chips in the marble and the crystal is missing. Lots of potential for this well made clock. Height 14 inches
