Description
FRENCH GILT-BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCK, dial with black Arabic numerals on white enamel chapter ring within engraved gilt filigree surround, case of beveled glass panels in brass frame with fluted columns and filigree frieze, repeater movement with coiled chime, unsigned. Fourth quarter 19th century. 7 1/2" HOA (including handle), 4" W (at base).
Dial excellent, case very good with door frame loose, lacking screw at lower corner. Currently striking but not running, lacking key (see Catalogue Guarantee).
Provenance: From the estate collection of William A. Litle, Garden Grove, CA.
Catalogue Note: Born in Washington Co., Pennsylvania, Dr. William Albert Litle (1934-2018) was a graduate of Duke University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After a brief stint teaching at MIT in the 1960s, Dr. Litle joined the School of Engineering faculty at The University of California, Irvine and later California State University at Fullerton. A talented individual with diverse interests, Dr. Litle was also recognized as a master grader for the Professional Stamp Experts (PSE), where he helped to develop a standardized stamp grading system and later served as president of the organization. A true collector, Dr. Litle's careful and informed attention to detail regarding rarity and condition when considering an acquisition is particularly noteworthy. The array of fine objects from the Litle Collection offered in the present sale attests not only to Dr. Litle's instinctual eye for beauty but also his careful, studied approach when selecting a piece for the collection. We are proud to represent the Litle family in offering some of Dr. Litle's most treasured possessions.
Condition
Dial excellent, case very good with door frame loose, lacking screw at lower corner. Currently striking but not running, lacking key (see Catalogue Guarantee).
