EARLY 19TH CENTURY FRENCH BAROQUE /CLASSICAL STYLE MANTEL CLOCK WITH

I ACQUIRED THIS MASTERPIECE FROM THE ESTATE OF A WELL KNOW ARTIST/JEWELER/COLLECTOR IN NEW MEXICO AFTER HIS AND HIS WIFES PASSING . DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE IS GONE NOW, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE I WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO FOR AN APPRAISAL, SO THERE IS NO ONE ELSE HERE IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. I WAS GIVEN THE INFORMATION ON THIS SET WHO IS THE OWNER AND APPRAISER FOR A LOCAL ESTATE SALE CO.
THIS IS APPARENTLY FROM FRANCE , ESTIMATED TO BE FROM THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY. IT HAS A MIX OF BAROQUE AND NEO CLASSICAL STYLES. ONE CAN FORM THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND PLEASE DO FEEL FREE TO SHARE WHAT YOU THINK. I WELCOME ANY ADVICE OR INFO REGARDING THIS SET FROM ANYONE SMARTER THAN MYSELF.
THE CLOCK ITSELF SITS ON PEDESTALS OF GILTED BRASS. APPEARS TO BE EITHER ALABASTER OR GRANITE. VERY THICK WITH AN UNDERLAYMENT.  I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK WAS IFFY IT WOULD WORK, NO ONE HAD HAD IT CHECKED. IT WINDS EASILY , I HAVE MANY KEYS, HOWEVER THE CLOCK WILL RUN AND THE PENDULUM MOVE FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I WILL BE GETTING A CLOCK GUY COME IN TO CHECK IT OUT SOON NOW THAT HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. I WANTED TO GET THIS OUT THERE IN AN AS IS CONDITION AND IF I CAN GET THE CLOCK WORKING GREAT I WILL UPDATE ASAP.ON THE CLOCK ITSELF THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS WITH CRACKING OF THE MAROON COLORED BASE. A QUALIFIED REPAIR PERSON WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. THE CLOCK MEASURES 13X8 X 8  AND WEIGHS ABOUT 15LBS,, THE BRONZE STATUE OF A MAN WEARING A SHEATH/SCARF OF SOME SORT THAT SETS ON TOP OF THE CLOCK CAN BE TAKEN OFF AS YOU WILL SEE IN PICS.  THE STATUE OF THE VERY MANS VERY MUSCULAR CHEST AND ARMS REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND IN ANCIENT GREEK STATUES,, HE IS HOLDING A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND STANDS WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WHEEL PERHAPS ONE THAT YOU WOULD FIND ON A RIVER MILL. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE IN ITSELF. THE STATUE IS 18" TALL X 6" X 5" .
THE CANDLE  STICK HOLDERS ARE EXQUISITE. STANDING AT 17: TALL BY 7" WIDE MADE OF ALL THE SAME MATERIAL.  PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES FOR WEAR AND TEAR . NO REAL DAMAGE TO POINT OUT ON HERE.
I HAVE TRIED ALL AVENUES TO FIND ANYTHING THAT COMES CLOSE TO THIS SET , EVEN REMOTELY WOULD BE PRICED BETWEEN $5,000 AND UPWARDS AND IN BETWEEN OVER $100,000 QUITE HONESTLY I THINK MY SET OUTSHINES ALL OF THEM.. HOWEVER , THERE ARE NO MARKINGS THAT I CAN FIND ON THIS. PERHAPS WHEN THE CLOCK GUY I USE OPENS THIS HE MAY FIND SOMETHING, I CANT DO IT. MY LISTING MAY BE PREMATURE. I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR INPUT, SO MY PRICE IS LIKE THROWING A DART.
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING AND COMPARING MY SET TO OTHERS ON THE SITE 1ST DIBS, I FOUND ONE SIMILAR WITH A WOMAN STATUE. VERY MUCH LIKE THE MAN ON MINE SHE TELLS A STORY. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THE CANDEL STICKS WERE CANDELABRA STYLE. PRICE ON THAT ONE WAS $45,000.00. WHICH IN FURTHER RESEARCH SEEMS TO BE THE NORM. I TEND TO BE MORE REALISTIC SO IF MINE SELLS RIGHT AWAY ...OH WELL... SOMEONE WILL GET A BEAUTIFUL SET OF GLORY.
NO RUDENESS NEEDED IF YOU HAVE ANY OPINIONS. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE KNOW IT ALL. I DON;T AND AM NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IT!!HAPPY NEW YEAR! JACQUIE
