Last weekend, I bought the twin to your clock in Lyon, France. It had years if dirt and neglect that took hours to clean and balance on my not-so-level bedroom mantle. The effort was worth it because the sound of the chime is beautiful. Did you find the answers to your questions?

The people here were so helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I've since sold the clock. Now...if I could just come across an Egyptian Revival, green marble French mantel clock, with sphinxes and caryatids and heiroglyphics and ankhs in bronze, for cheap at a garage sale! That's all I ask.

Neil,
Your clock is made of Belgian marble and the maker is the famous Japy Freres(Japy brother)
These are nice clocks and are good time keepers.
