About the Item

Chimes of Normandy Musical Clock Early 20th Century A masterpiece of horology and woodworking, the Chimes of Normandy Clock exemplifies early 20th-century craftsmanship with intricate scroll-saw fretwork. Its dark-stained oak case showcases hand-carved panels in a cathedral-inspired form with three turrets featuring a rope motif, stunning fretwork design, a central clock face and delicately carved balconies. A bell tower spire adds grandeur with an enclosed cylinder musical mechanism resting within the base. The iconic pattern gained historical prominence when an example, hand-carved by Ernestine Guerrero in 1937, was gifted to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Guerrero’s clock, crafted from salvaged grocery boxwood, is now displayed at the Roosevelt Library as a testament to resilience during the Great Depression. 41 1/2" high x 19 1/4" wide x 10" deep

Vincenti et Cie Mantel Clock for Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Located in New Orleans, LA
Wooden Mantel Clock Vincenti et Cie Late 19th century The mechanism is marked "Vincenti et Cie, Médaille d'Argent 1855, Made in France." Vincenti et Cie, established in 1823 by Jean Vincenti in Montbéliard, was revitalized by Albert Roux in 1829, who expanded and innovated the company. Under Roux's leadership, the firm continued its Montbéliard operations and opened a store in Paris in 1850 on Rue d'Anjou in the Marais. The company earned a silver medal (Médaille d'Argent) at the 1855 Exposition Universelle, for which this clock bears the mark "Médaille d'Argent, 1855," symbolizing its excellent craftsmanship. The clock dial is marked Bailey, Banks & Biddle for the oldest nationwide jeweler in America, originally founded in 1832 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The company is one of America's most prestigious retailers, known for creating the updated and final version of the Great Seal of the United States as well as the first 40,000 Purple Heart medals...

The Linke Grand Regulator World's Fair Clock
By François Linke
Located in New Orleans, LA
Grand Regulator World's Fair Clock François Linke Circa 1900 Widely regarded as the greatest sculptural clock ever created, this monumental régulateur by François Linke was conceived as a statement for the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, a moment when the world’s finest artisans competed on an international stage. Linke, the most celebrated ébéniste of the Belle Époque, was awarded the prestigious gold medal for his display, which critics described as “the biggest event in the history of furnishing art in the year 1900.” Designed in collaboration with the sculptor Léon Messagé, the clock exemplifies Linke’s ambition to elevate furniture and timepieces to the realm of fine art. The clock represents over a decade of design and craftsmanship. Only six examples of this model were ever completed due to the extraordinary labor and cost involved. Building just one had a production cost of 22,966 francs, the equivalent of approximately eight years' wages for the average French worker in 1900. The clock is illustrated on the spine of Christopher Payne’s definitive monograph on Linke. Mahdi Al-Tajir, one of the world’s most important collectors, later acquired the present model. Another is located at Whitehall, the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach. It was acquired by Rockefeller’s partner, Henry Flagler...
