French style Boulle clock
« on: July 03, 2012, 06:04:18 pm »
Hi guys, my uncle found a nice clock and he asked me to find out a little about it, for example age, value etc.
It's below, I think it's a beautiful piece, the photo is all I have of it sadly. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Toby

Is there any writing on the inside? Usually where they would keep the key. Is there a name on the face? Nice clock by the way.

Sadly, this is the only info I have about the clock, my uncle only gave me the photo and said, "what can you find out about this lovely clock?" Sorry I dont have any more info

Can he make a photo of the side and back? Or could he open the the back? I'm trying to see if it is French. Does he know if it is French?

I see some of the tops are different. The one I saw was auctioned off for $4,000. Maybe my book is not accurate for today, plus I wasn't sure it's the same. The top is different, but I see that in the examples from google.
