(lot of 3) French Empire bronze mantel garniture set, 19th c., including: (1) clock, having eagle finial, above architectural case raised on tapering columns, central white dial with Roman numeral hour markers, time-and-strike movement marked G. Megnin made in France, retailer's stamp H&H, rising on platform base with palmette border, ending on bun feet, accompanied by ill-fitting pendulum, lacking bell, not currently operational, approx 18"h, 10.5"w, 6"d; (pair) matched four-light candelabra garnitures, approx 19"h, 6"diam; 32.5lbs total
CR 7.28.25- As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock is not currently operational. It is accompanied by an ill-fitting pendulum that has been attached with wire so it hangs in a forward-facing direction. It is lacking a bell. While the left keyhole winds relatively easily, the right keyhole is extremely difficult to wind, indicating that the clock may be fully-wound. The movement does not respond to winding. As with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning.
