C.1890, French, Spelter and Marble mantel set, Fortuna and child with a basket containing 3 chicks, the sidepieces with matching insets of Belgian slate with gilt incising. Dial with retailer: Daenen Lubrun, Huy. Condition: Very good as-found. This clock came from Texas where it lived most of the last century, and some maid must have cleaned this weekly, ultimately removing all the gold. It actually doesnÕt look bad in its natural color and you will have a hard choice deciding whether to leave it as is or refinish. The bell strike movement is original to the case, and is clean enough to tick and strike. Large and impressive. Height of candle stands = 16Ó, height of clock, 22 inches
