Mathurin Moreau 29” tall French museum clock 1800s Louis Boname Seloncourt

eBay For auction is a truly rare spectacular clock, nearly three feet tall by the famous artist, MATHURIN "Math" MOREAU. The clock movement is by the famous French clock maker: LOUIS BONAME (BESANÇON) SELONCOURT. You can see the stamp on the clock in one of the photographs. The dial protected by original glass door windows Moreau s signature appears in at least two places, once on each ladies' dresses (photos). I purchased this clock from a collector in Prague around 20 years ago and have owned it ever since. There is also a plate on the front “M. Moreau”. This clock is entitled "TRIOMPHE L'AMOUR". It is truly spectacular and stands over 29" tall and is very heavy. The detail work is exquisite. The back of this clock is more decorative and detailed than most clocks fronts. The glass and porcelain face are in excellent condition. The clock works and chimes a lovely bell sound. When I purchased the clock I was told it had been featured in a well-known palace in Germany. Unfortunately, I've since forgotten its name. There is a stamp on the back of the clock that reads as best as I can tell “Hors Concours” which I understand to be an expression from the late 19th century meaning “unrivaled ” This museum caliber clock will be the centerpiece of any home, whether your home is the Trump Tower or a more humble abode. The clock is in excellent condition for a clock that is well over a hundred years old and never restored. A true collectors piece. The Moreau family sculptor dynasty begins with Jean Baptiste Moreau, who was born in Dijon, France at the end of the 18th century. Jean Baptiste had three sons who followed in his footsteps, they were Auguste, Mathurin and Hyppolyte François The legacy continued with Auguste’s sons, Louis Auguste and Hyppolyte Francois. Members of the Moreau family often studied at the famous École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.Mathurin received many awards and specialized more in large statues - like you find in a town square, and his work followed the academic style. Many of Mathurin’s sculptures can be found around Paris, including L’Océanie, which is located in the Musée d’Orsay courtyard. Mathurin also won first place at the Paris World Fair in 1855 for his Fontaine de Tourny, which is now located in Quebec.Mathurin Moreau was born at Côte-d’Or on November the 18th, 1822, the son of Jean Baptiste Moreau, who was also famous sculptor in Paris. Mathurin Moreau studied at the École des Beaux Arts from 1841 where he was a pupil of Ramey and Dumont. He won awards at the Paris Salon. In 1885 his achievement was recognized by his becoming an Officer of the Legion d’Honneur. In 1897, Mathurian received the medal of honor for the Monument of Joigneaux. Its interesting to note that Auguste Rodin, also a sculptor in Paris at this time (born in 1840 and died in 1917) never received any such awards during his lifetime. In fact, it wasn’t until the 50th anniversary of Rodin’s death, in 1967, that he was finally awarded with the public tribute to Preiss. Mathurian died five years before Rodin. Mathurian Moreau sculpted many famous public statues in bronze around Paris and Europe, including L'Océanie at the Musee D’Orsay, La Chapelle Montmartre Parmentier in Cologne, the Sénat et jardin du Luxembourg, and a larger than life size figure of Marguerite d’Anjou. The two fountains of the Tourny place in Bordeaux (1857) were decorated with four Moreau sculptures. One of them is on display at Clemenceau place with Soulac-on-Sea. Mathurin’s son, Louis Auguste Moreau also became a successful sculptor. Other famous works of Mathurin Moreau are the Elegy, the Fairy with the flowers, the Ropemaking machine, Prima Vera and the Monument of Joigneaux, for which he received the medal of honor. Mathurin Moreau becomes mayor of the XIXème district of Paris. After its death a street in the City of Paris was named after him (Rue de Mathurin Moreau). He was made mayor of the XIXe arrondissement, Paris, and in 1912 had a street named in his honor. His other works include. · Cologne, limestone, 1865, façade de la gare du Nord · Nymphe fluviale, the Place du The tre Français Paris (1874) · L'Océanie, from the Exposition Universelle (1878),Musée d'Orsay courtyard · Zenobe Gramme, bronze, Musée des Arts et Métiers courtyard, Paris · Monument de Joigneaux, for which he received the medal of honor, Salon of 1897 · Tomb of Zenobe Gramme, Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, circa 1901 · Lord Strathcona Fountain, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, unveiled 1 July 1909 SOLD AS IS.

1857 Gerhard Mandtler Restored Weight Driven 1 Handed Wall Clock Handmade Gears

This unique one-handed clock was made by Gerhard Mandtler son of Clockmaker Jacob Mandtler has been professionally restored. Gerhard was born in Prussia in 1821 and died in 1904. This Mandtler family was from the Mennonite colony located in Lindenau, Molotschna Colony in Prussia. These clocks are identified by the markings on a gear, identifying the maker and the year of manufacture. All gears on these clocks were hand made. The clock faces were not made by Gerhard Mandtler, they were hand painted in nearby village Lichtenau. These clocks were an important part of the Mennonite material culture. Mennonite parents often commissioned clocks as wedding gifts. The clock being offered is thought to be one of those wedding clocks. Due to political pressures the Mandtler family moved to Russia (now Ukraine) in 1855. Mandtler's son by the same name Gerhard Mandtler 1855-1930 was the last clockmaker of this family. Mandtler clocks ceased production around the Russian Civil War (1917-1922). There were several Mennonite families building clock during this period, Kroeger, Lepp, Hamm, Hildebrand and the Mandtler families. There are at this time more Kroeger clocks that have survived than any other. These clocks were very important to these people. Whenever they migrated the clock was almost sure to go with them. Looking at this clock one might assume it was from a large case grandfathers' clock or something similar. The museum for these Mennonite is located in Canada where several dozens of these clocks are on display, none have cabinets. What you see is the clock, the whole clock as it was used in the era, it never had a case. Movement is mounted on finished oak base for easy hanging. Researching Mennonite Clocks gives a whole new outlook on these amazing timepieces. Although these clocks were made with one hand and two hands the two-handed versions seemed to have had a better survival rate. Everything on this clock is in great condition. It has been serviced by a clock smith and received any care it required. Measurement on face is approx. 20 3/8" tall X 14" wide and weighs 7 lb. The pendulum is 39" long and 5 3/8 across and weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. The weights measure 11 1/2" and weighs slightly over 5 lb. and 6" and weighs 5 1/2 oz. This clock requires approx. 7 ft of vertical wall space. It is mounted on the oak board for hanging and movement protection purposes but can be hung easily without board. The clock smith is in the opinion this clock is authentic with all original pieces and parts. This is truly a great 166-year-old clock with an interesting history. This clock will be shipped in two separate boxes. Please check photos as they are a large part of description. Any questions, please contact me. Thanks for taking a look. (Condition: Refurbished)

Art Deco Zenith Marble Desk Clock, Switzerland, ca. 1920’s

Art Deco Zenith Marble Desk Clock Switzerland, ca. 1920’s Zenith SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company established in Le Locle, in the canton of Neushatel, in 1865; by Georges Favre-Jacot, who was 22 at the time. Zenith was purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in its watch and jewelry division, which includes also TAG Heuer and Hublot. Zenith is one of the Swiss watch manufacturers that still produce their own movements in-house. George Favre-Jacot (1843 – 1917) was an apprentice within the watchmaking industry while still a youth. Later in life, Favre-Jacot had commissioned famous architect Le Corbusier to build a house for himself in Le Locle. He was also closely involved with another prominent architect of the era, Alfonse Laverriere, the relationship with whom was the source of influence upon the Werkbund movement. The two men collaborated with a shared artistic vision of the nature of production, to the extent to which they themselves somewhat reformed the artistic situation within francophone Switzerland at the time.

Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, 8 Day Time Wall Clock Oak Case, Beautiful & Running

eBay This is a Seth Thomas Regulator Number 2 wall clock, oak case. It is in running condition. Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, 8 Day Time Only Wall Clock Oak Case, Beautiful & Running Seth Thomas No. 2 Regulator, 8 Day Time Only Wall Clock Oak Case, Beautiful & Running Click images to enlarge Description Heritage Matters SETH THOMAS WALL CLOCK OAK CASE, "REGULATOR NUMBER 2" MODEL 8 DAY MOVEMENT, TIME ONLY, RUNNING Ca. 1917 - 1922 THIS is a guaranteed genuine antique Seth Thomas wall clock, their famous Regulator Number 2. The case is oak. It has a properly marked Seth Thomas #77B eight day time only movement. The finish is good, in need of a rub-down with quality beeswax polish. The finish seems to be original--I see no evidence of it having been refinished. As far as I can tell--and I am pretty certain of this--it is all is original, except the key. The zinc dial shows wear, with very minor losses. I disassembled the movement, ultrasonically cleaned it, polished the pivots, restrung the weight,then reassembled and lubricated it. It measures about 35 X 15.5 X 5.5 inches. It has the base style which was discontinued in 1922, and the movement is a 77B with cut pinions, which Thomas began using about 1917. That puts its manufacture in the six year period from 1917 to 1922. There is one small area on the base, at the very front, where the glue on the veneer has partially released. It cannot be seen on the photos, you have to run your hand over it to feel it. This came out of a Maryland Eastern Shore estate in which the last family member died (so I am told) at age 104, though they spent their last few years in a nursing home. ?Although running, I sell all mechanical and electrical devices in "AS-IS" condition. This is because old items like this can easily get broken or out of adjustment in shipping. You still have an inspection period of 30 days during which the item can be returned for any reason for a refund of the purchase price only--however it must be returned in the same condition in which I shipped it, meaning if there is damage, an insurance claim must be made.
