[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 288008, member: 5170"]Hey all This bronze clock measures 18" wide by 24" tall and weighs in at a whopping 35 pounds. It features lion's paw feet, urns, dolphins, a balustrade, and is crowned with Father Time as an angel holding a scythe. I believe it is from France ca. 1860 or so. The movement features the number 1633 and is inscribed "G. Phillipe/Palais Royal." I apologize for the fact that it's washed out in the photo. I can find one other similar clock, although it's got lots of Bouille work and is fancier than mine: [URL]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Monumental-French-Louis-XIV-Style-Gilt-Bronze-and-Bouille-Clock/371738237043?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D46674%26meid%3De4b88da257ae4c20891a6efb08c1f9cd%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D142516492675&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042[/URL] I don't expect an exact value, but I wonder if the insurance replacement value would be too high at $4K?
