Early 19th Century Antique Bronze Clock with Cherub playing a drum and trumpet

Description: This fantastic jewel of a clock is from before 1850. It measures 12" tall including the base. It is bronze with Dore finish. It is in perfect condition with the exception on a slight bend in the trumpet (see photo). I've had this in my collection for a long time. I bought it from a retired antique dealer who was in her 90s and going into an assisted living home. She had it for over 50 years she told me. The clock is marked "BESTEL CANU, A MELUN-". The casting is very fine and the cherub face is fantastic. Note the little doll the cherub is standing over. This clock was reproduced in early 1900s but this one it the original. As with all clocks I sell they are "AS IS" even though they are running when they leave my possession you never know what happens in transit. Check out my other items!

Up until 2006 we had two large stores in Los Angeles, one was in Hancock Park on Larchmont Blvd and the other on Melrose. These days poor health has curtailed my yearly travels to Europe on buying trips. My time is spent searching leads and estate sales. My wife and I have held local estate sales for over 30 years and have a very competent staff which helps us. My first love are paintings done in France,1900 to 1950. This is called the School of Paris which included artist from around the world who worked and studied in France. I have over 300 such paintings. Many are listed on the Ruby Lane site under our shop name, Larchmont Village Antiques. My wife's specialty is antique jewelry and has been running our stores since 1981.
