Atmos Clock – 150th Anniversary Clock
Atmos clock celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the invention of the Atmos clock by Jaeger-LeCoultre – Geneva. It runs on an air pressure, bellows system that captures the difference in atmospheric pressure when it goes up or down. That change in pressure is caught in the bellows and therefore has the power to run the clock. It’s the closest thing to perpetual motion that has ever been built. This clock has three feet that can be used to level it, and there is a bubble glass to show when it is perfectly level. There is a “150″ medallion and a medallion that states the number, which is 311. The clock has been refurbished in 2007 and keeps excellent time. I might adjust it twice a year for a couple of minutes. There is a manual lever to adjust the mechanism – faster or slower. The dome is blown glass crystal and looks majestic, when it covers the clock’s movement. I have an original marketing brochure but no original packing materials. I have the instructions on starting and setting the time etc. Perfect condition.

A hand carved, ceremonial hardwood mask from the Ivory Coast. Painstakingly hollowed out to quite a smooth interior finish. The mask is rather small leading me to believe that this was made for a woman. Quite a lot of detail with a protruding, horned high-piece. Various holes in the circumference allow it to be tied to various sized people. Definitely an antique. Early last century or previous. Excellent condition with one minor repair. No signature visible.

Myth is one of Rothe’s most outstanding creations. It’s a very rare, Artist’s Proof, mezzotint on heavy artist’s paper. Mezzotint is a very difficult process. The artist has to put the sheet of paper through the press a number of times, each time keeping the registration perfect and one time for each colour variation of that colour. I believe this piece was put through about 16 – 20 times – remarkable. Signed in the margin lower right: “G. H. Rothe”. Numbered: “4/15 A.P.” bottom left. An artist’s proof if more valuable because the artist does all the printing. After the proofs are done, usually the pressmen take over and copy the instructions from the artist. Titled: “Myth” bottom centre. Frame is wood with dark chocolate, smooth, matt finish with a gold metal key line – very distinctive and appropriate for this mezzotint. Double matts set the painting off nicely – off-white and dusty rose with bevelled edges. Excellent condition with some discolouration from age.
Carved African female bust. African ebony hardwood. It seems that the artist has done a very professional job of using the heartwood for the bust of the woman and the rest of the wood for the border around her. Please do your own research as I am not familiar with all the ins-and-outs of African carving. No repairs visible. Excellent condition.
Three carved African female figures. Typical of hand carving from Tanzania. African hardwood, most likely ebony. These are a group young women going about their daily chores. One of them has a child clinging to her leg. Another is with child. Each is carrying something on their heads and each has a small sack or satchel. Please do your own research as I am not familiar with all the ins-and-outs of African carving. Very good condition. Some sign of repairs – one to the neck of one figure. The other could be the artist filling in a knot hole. They are on small, steel plates so that they stand up properly. Excellent condition.
Five carved African figures. Label on all states: “Hand Carved Made in Tanzania”. African hardwood, most likely ebony. These are a group of elderly tribesmen on the lookout for wild game.
