French Gilt Clocks

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-304 -- More Projects »

Old clocks are a favorite with antique collectors, and at the Calendar Antique Show in Del Mar, Calif., we found rare French clocks from the late 19th century. One of the most expensive is a Four Seasons clock designed by August Moreau. It costs $6,500 because it's in mint condition.

Antique clocks in good condition can be a smart investment because they appreciate in value.

This clock is sometimes called a "mystery" clock because people wonder how it works.

It's signed August Monroe. Monroe wasn't a clock maker, but a famous sculptor.

This clock is very rare, which is why it sells for $5,500.

This clock, also sculptured by August Monroe, is called Four Seasons.

Here's a clock with matching candelabras dating back to 1870. The detailed, three-piece set sells for $3,500.

The face is a porcelain plaque inserted into solid brass. It's priced at $6,500 because it's very rare.

Both of these 1880s French clocks are bronze with a 24-karat gold leafing on them. They're valued at $3,500 because of age and condition.
