click for details		Gordon S. Converse and Co. 610.722.9004 $2,000.00
Justin McCarthy (1892-1977)is a major self-taught or "outsider" artist. His work is not easily categorized; yet his work has grown in recognition year after year. McCarthy was born in Pennsylvania the son of a newspaper executive. He first wanted to be a lawyer but failed to pass the bar, so he settled into a life of raising and selling vegetables- and painting, which he began in 1920 after a visit to the Louvre in Paris.

Forcot's Patented "Cupid on a Swing" portico clock Catalogue: Antiques: Instruments and Implements: Timepieces: Clocks: Pre 1900 item# 714254 (stock# 7546)
click for details		Gordon S. Converse and Co. 610.722.9004 SOLD
An unusually large French made portico clock; and the largest we have seen with the novel swing pendulum device that was patented by Forcot of Paris in 1862. When running the cupid pendulum swings to and fro- as if really swinging on a swing- instead or sideways. The ormolu mounts are of very good to best quality castings, and have not been removed to be cleaned or re plated- they don't seem to need it since the original surface can be appreciated despite the accumulation of some discolorati ...click for details

click for details		Gordon S. Converse and Co. 610.722.9004 $1,800.00
A late Federal era New England banjo timepiece. This may date about 1820. The solid mahogany case features cross grain cut half round molding enclosing the reverse painted glasses. The glasses were with the clock when purchased, and although they are both complete restorations, speak for themselves as one of the best true-to-form examples you will see. The clock has been cleaned and put into good running order and the brasses cleaned up, but not polished bright. A great looking early 19th centur ...click for details

His best work incorporates the pure Louis XVI st ...click for details
