c.1890 FRENCH INDUSTRIAL LIGHTHOUSE CLOCK
A Genuine Antiquity, Not A Reproduction !
For reference, please refer to "Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks" by Derek Roberts
One
of the ever-popular "French Industrial" series made by French clock
makers to celebrate the Industrial Age. This was made by Andre Romain
Guilmet, the most renowned maker of this genre.
A highly desirable and rare French clock by Guilmet in the form of a nautical lighthouse.
The automated turret, housing a clock, barometer and two thermometers rotates slowly with an independent spring-wound movement.
Stands about 43cm. tall (17 inches). The marble base is 15.25cm (6 inches) diameter. The clock face is 6.35cm ( (2.5 inches).
In perfect running condition, recently professionally serviced. The clock runs for eight days.
Note: we have several other French Industrial clocks available, including a rare fire engine, capstan, band saw and other clocks. Check out musicaltreasuresofmiami.com for details.
