About the Item

This lighthouse clock crafted by Andre Romain Guilmet in Paris, circa 1880 is made of bronze, copper and was silvered in areas. The clock works with an eight-day movement housed in the top or lighthouse section and is opposed by a barometer within the revolving top. Between each dial is a thermometer, one for centigrade and one for Fahrenheit. The clocks revolving mechanism works through a geared shaft and winding mechanism located at the base. Examples of this form can be found in all silvered bronze with gilded details, a gilded body with silver details, patinated body with silvered and polished bronze details and polished bronze with silver details. The form is represented here as the lighthouse within a platform with a walkway and decorative railing around the walk, this rests on the lighthouse tower cast with stonework, doors and windows. As this example has no evidence of gilding or silvering to the larger body we assume it was one of the polished bronze cases. The trim, windows and doors show evidence of slivering. The face bears the retailer's name of M. S. Smith & Co, Detroit showing that this clock was sent to this country for sale and retailed here as an item for the wealthy class of our gilded age. This firm founded in 1870 as a watch company which reformed as a silversmithing company and a jewelry trader in 1889 and worked until 1895.
