<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 760779, member: 25&quot;]The first clock could be Restauration (sic) Period, 1820-30ish, but I think it is a little later, but probably before 1850. It would be relevant to know if it has a silk suspension. </p><p>The odds are good that it is gilt bronze, not gilt spelter at this period.</p><p>Always pick up glass domes like this with both hands and a plan for where to put it without tripping over a cat. They are exceedingly difficult to replace. Clocks intended to be dome covered had open dials and backs, glass dial covers and back doors were a later and far cheaper practice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to the period and style this clock would be more valuable than later 19th C examples, and although the last thing I need after another cat is another clock, I would be tempted to buy it if I saw it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
