Title: Would appreciate more info on this clock
Post by: massauto on February 02, 2008, 09:07:28 AM

I have what appears to be an antique fireplace style clock.

The works are stamped Louis Boname Seloncourt DOUBS and it is numbered 532.

It is a key wound clock with chimes.

The pendulum is a tri-footed pot of the type that used to be used in fireplaces.

My question is:  Has anyone ever seen a clock like this one before?  I've researched the web and can't find any info on it.

Also, I would like to know whether the pendulum is a homemade afterthought or whether it would have been part of the original clock?

That is a beautiful time keeper! I'd say the pendulum is original, as it's in keeping with the style of the piece. Try these links for info on the maker:
