D. Mougin and that is a shame because he made a very fine clock. But in this listing I am going to share as much as I can about him and about the clock you are looking at. However I certainly would be interested if anyone has additional information they can share. Circa 1890's CLOCK and/or Garniture Set I believe the metal to be Spelter Bronze but not 100% sure of this.Antique French Bronze Figurative and Monumental Mantel Clock, circa 1890's. This is a gorgeous Pair of Bronze ladies with lots of fine details. The clock case is a real beauty with a rich ornate design, which has been finely molded. It is highly unusual to come across such a large and elegant antique, solid cast bronze, and the Green and cream Onyx stone workings and in my opinion to be of museum quality. The movement is in good working condition. The enameled dial is in pristine condition with unique designed numerals for the hours, which is excellent for a clock that's been used for over 100 years. The dial is protected by a beveled glass door window, which is in excellent condition with no visible damage. The Key is fancy and in good condition. The Pendulum is Thieble Suspension (pendulum bob) appears 1870 There is a plaque under the ladies that says::: THIOMPHE DE LA SCIENCE. In English this says Triumph in the Science, Researching this has not really helped a lot but you will find tons of information about Triumph in the science over Death and I have no proof that this clock and that information are tied together. However you will find tons of statues at this time period for this TH......Science and they are not the same. It would be interesting to know exactly who, and the significance this clock was made. I think there is a much bigger story here. If I were to guess I would think it was made for a specific person and of Notability. How the clock managed to get to the USA would be another interesting story I am sure. The one lady is holding a scroll it begins with Science and I have been unable to make out the rest of the words. The movement is an 8-day key wound and the rear of the movement is stamped by A.D. Mougin 6179 along with the well known star and is marked "Duex Medailles". The Duex Medailles and star are Mougin's trademarks that symbolize two medals he won from exhibitions during his career prior to 1900. A.D. Mougin was a well known French clock maker who was located at Rue de Turenne 75 Paris in 1870. The clock comes with a pendulum and key. (I believe the Pendulum and Key to be original to this clock) The entire clock is in excellent overall condition. A massive and heavy clock that you can't take your eyes off of. I have had the clock over 20 years. I purchased it from a man in St. Louis MO. and unfortunately no longer can remember his name. However his collection of clocks was possibly one of the most lovely Victorian Clock Collections I have ever seen. Internet Information Below:::AD Mougin was a famous clock maker in Paris from the mid eighteenth century forward. He shop €‹was located at Rue de Turenne 75 Paris in 1870.

Mougin was a well known listed French clock maker who was located at Rue de Turenne 75 Paris in 1870. A D Mougin around but he is listed as working in Herimoncourt in the late 1800s which is in the Montbeliard region of France one of the main clock making areas. Mougin is said to have exhibited roulants in 1900 and as his trademark contains Deux Medailles he presumably won two medals at exhibitions. According to Allix his name appears on a wrapper of Japy blanc roulants for carriage clocks so he obviously sourced some roulants from Japy and finished them. “A.D.

Gives you good information on clocks and MakersCandelabras:::: There are a pair of Candelabras which match the Clock. There is only one spot of damage I have ever seen. The one Candle holder you will see in the top center or middle has one petal on the side that is damaged. The legs on all pieces are great and the metal workings are lovely with tons of detail. Most of the pieces are pretty easy to adjust. The marble/Onyx bases are absolutely wonderful matching the clock perfectly. There is no damage to them. Creamy Greens and darker Greens. Gold plated feet on all the pieces just set them off...... Outstanding Measurements:::::Clock stands 22 inches tall, 13 inches wide and 8 inches in depth. These measurements are the maximum.
