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.

Ornately Carved Eli Terry Jr. Wooden Works 8 Day T&S Clock, Working, Beautiful!

This is a superb antique 8 day wood works clock movement made by Eli Terry Jr. As far as I can tell, is mostly ORIGINAL. See photos and description for details. Ornately Carved Eli Terry Jr. Wooden Works 8 Day T&S Clock, Working, Beautiful! Ornately Carved Eli Terry Jr. Wooden Works 8 Day T&S Clock, Working, Beautiful! Click images to enlarge Description Heritage Matters WEIGHT DRIVEN WOODEN WORKS CLOCK ELI TERRY JR. 8 DAY T&S (ON THE HOUR ONLY) CIRCA 1831 - 1839 This is an antique wood works clock made by Eli Terry Jr. I believe he began making the 8 day movement about 1832, and ended no later than 1839, though records show that existing stocks were sold as late as about 1841. It was difficult for wood movements to compete with brass movements! The movement is of course unsigned (none were signed that I know of) and the paper is entirely missing. However, it is a match for another 8 day Eli Terry Jr. clock I have, and the movement is the Terry Type 5.111 as pictured in Figure 133, page 54, of Eight Day Wood Movement Shelf Clocks by Bryan Rogers and Snowden Taylor. This clock has a beautiful carved case, with paw feet. It appears to have been refinished a few years ago, and they did an excellent job on it! A few small pieces of veneer are missing here and there--see photos, as they are part of the description. The upper glass may be original, but the mirror in the lower is a replacement. It looks to me as though everything else is original: hands (though they have been painted black), bob, pulleys, and weights. The clock measures about 39 X 18.75 X 5 inches, and is very clean. The key is period, though have seen not others exactly like it. Instead of a crank, the winding stem is through the center shaft of a wood handle. It is probably not original to this clock. I completely disassembled the movement, restrung, and cleaned and preserved it. It is currently working and striking nicely. I have to share that these 8 day wooden movement clocks have a reputation for being quite finicky. Please note also that (1) the heavy weights used on 8 day clocks put a lot of strain on the great wheel, and while this one is presently without condition issues, they can break teeth off; (2) I have read that when produced, the wooden movements were estimated to have a "life expectancy" of about 20 years. We are well beyond that now, by 160 and more years, and it is amazing that so many of them are still running! However, you might say they are living on borrowed time, so I cannot guarantee such a movement, especially after it goes through the post office or any other shipper. And (3) I sell all mechanical and electrical devices in AS-IS condition anyway, because parts can become brittle so that any disturbance affects it. For safety, the weights will be shipped in a second box, at no additional charge. If the eBay shipping calculator seems high, remember this is a large clock. Even so, their calculator is sometimes off, so feel free to contact me for a binding shipping price. Any overage, including shipping discount (if any) will be refunded. Should there be a problem with your purchase, please contact me directly through the eBay mail system. I can and will do the same things directly that I would through eBay, and probably more quickly.
