• RARE GILT BRONZE GRAVITY BALL
  RARE GILT BRONZE GRAVITY BALL WATERWHEEL INDUSTRIAL CLOCK Compound congreve waterwheel clock. Circa 1900, gilt bronze on an onyx base. With thermometer and barometer. As the clock runs and the large wheel slowly rotates it allows a ball to escape once per minute down the three tier track into the conveyor belt. When activated by the movement the belt lifts and another ball is allowed to roll into the track above and then drop into the wheel. The piece should be fairly accurate since the power comes from the constant weight of the balls instead of a spring with varying degrees of power. Catalog Note: Roberts, Pg. 72, Fig. 6-14AB. This clock is virtually identical with that shown in the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and is described and illustrated by Mathieu Planchon in La Revue Chronometrique for October of that year, the drawing from which is shown here.It has a glass dial, Brocot escapement and a three wheel train driven by the steel balls in the right hand side of the paddle-wheel (some are missing in the picture) which is connected to the centre wheel. The balls, after leaving the paddle-wheel, are guided to the base of an elevator consisting of a series of buckets which lift the balls so that they may once again be placed on the top of the paddle-wheel. The buckets are driven by two concealed springs in the base acting in tandem. In the centre of the elevator is a thermometer and above 12 o'clock an aneroid barometer. Although the basic design of this type of clock remains the same the material used for the base may alter, for instance rosewood may be employed. Literature: See Roberts, Derek, “Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks.” Pg. 72, Fig. 6-14AB for a similar example. Watch Video

• LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY (AMERICAN,
  LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY (AMERICAN, 1848-1933) "GOSSIPY MARKET WOMEN AT NUREMBERG" Circa 1889, oil on canvas. Inscribed and titled (on paper label verso). Original carved and giltwood frame attributed to Stanford White / Louis C. Tiffany Decorating Company. Catalogue Note: The work, titled Study of Women at Market, oil on panel; 6 3/4 x 5 in. (17 x 14 cm) CHMF 55-21, currently in the collection of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Winter Park, Florida is undoubtably the study for this work. Tiffany used wood panels in the early stages of design to perfect details he felt important to the finished paintings. The studies appear to have been very personal to him as they were displayed on shelves in his studios and lined the halls of his personal suite at his Long Island country home, Laurelton Hall. When the house and contents were sold in the 1940’s, these cherished studies escaped the auction block and were offered first to family. This study was later gifted to the museum by Tiffany’s daughter, Comfort Tiffany Gilder. Although unsigned and undated the study was likely painted during a summer trip from June 15, 1889 - September 2, 1889, when Louis C. Tiffany traveled to the Exposition Universelle in Paris, Nuremburg, Germany, & northern Italy. Exhibitions: Society of American Artists, Thirteenth Annual Exhibition, The American Art Gallery, Madison Square, New York, 1891. The Art Institute of Chicago, Fourth Annual Exhibition of American Oil Paintings & Sculpture, Chicago, 1891, no. 335. Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933) Louis Comfort Tiffany was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and his best known for his work in stained glass. He is associated with the art nouveau and aesthetic art movements. Tiffany was affiliated with a prestigious collaborate of designers known as the Associated Artists, which included Lockwood de Forest, Candace Wheeler, and Samuel Solman. He designed stained glass windows and lamps, glass mosaics, blown glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamels, and metalwork. He was the first design director at his family company, Tiffany & Co., founded by his father Charles Lewis Tiffany.
