<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 284826, member: 5170&quot;]Hey all:</p><p><br /></p><p>First: I apologize for the slightly blurry images, but I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll get the gist.</p><p><br /></p><p>So: This is a bronze clock and sculpture. The sculpture is called &quot;Murmure des Flots&quot; (Whisper of the Waves) and is signed by Rancoulet, as you&#039;ll see. It is 28&quot; tall, 16&quot; wide and weighs about 20 lbs. U.S. I&#039;m guessing its from France, ca. 1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>The clock appears to be French, with a ceramic dial. I took a photo through the back porthole to get an idea about the movement, but frankly I have no idea who made it. It was point and shoot, because it was total darkness in there and I didn&#039;t want to haul the piece around the house without detaching the pendulum. Anyway, there are a couple of parts numbers, but no name.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen these &quot;Murmure&quot; sculptures here and there, but never with a clock. The sculpture is spelter, the clock bronze. They fit together as if designed to do so; therefore, this is not a marriage in the usual antique world sense. I believe some of these sculptures were made to go with this clock model from the get-go.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know we don&#039;t do valuations, but for insurance purposes I&#039;m thinking $1K. Does that seem realistic?</p><p><br /></p><p>THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!![ATTACH=full]91496[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]91500[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]91501[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]91502[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
