France, Bernoux, quality 3-piece "Conical Pendulum" clock set, the case of dark red mottled marble with bronze statue, case feet and yarn basket, and with matching candelabra with bronze arms and accents, c1880

not running; there is some minor edge roughness to the case at rear, balance intact and smooth. The bronze statue is finished in two-tone, the silvered robe with gold or other bright border, and the statue of a robed female weaver and yarn basket, with base signed M. B. Nadaud, Time and bell strike movement appears complete and sound, however top spindle is not now turning; will strike. It is unusual to find a conical model with modified pinwheel escapement. Note that the pendulum is a replacement; the pendulum for this model should be a large tapered yarn ball; see Derek Roberts book titled MYSTERY, NOVELTY & FANTASY CLOCKS, page 127 for example; additionally, the lady is supposed to be holding a smaller 2" yarn spindle in her left hand which is absent on ours. Ht 24"
