French Mantel Clock
« on: December 10, 2013, 03:33:06 pm »
I have a French Mantel Clock purchased second hand in France in the 1970's. It is 18" high, 16" wide and 5" deep. The original works were removed by the previous owner and replaced with a quartz movement. I am having difficultiy trying to find out the age of the clock.

1940`s ceramic !! No name on the face, which looks to be the original, says it was an inexpensive clock,, just the works were replaced !!

It does look ceramic to me as well.  Sad the inner works were replaced.

The value will be lessened due to damage on piece.  :(
