Beginning c. 1923, Porter Garden Telescopes were produced by the Jones and Lamson Machine Company of Vermont. They were originally supplied with a compendium of accessories, including double eyepieces (for two people using the telescope simultaneously), which dismantled with the mirror and the prism, to stow in a purposefitted case when not in use. $1,500-2,500

Provenance: This clock was part of the original furnishings of the W.P. Brown mansion on 4717 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans. This four-story, 22,000 square foot Romanesque Revival mansion was built by Brown between 1901 and 1904 as the promised gift to his wife of the “most palatial dwelling in New Orleans.” According to accounts, many rooms of the house and the grand staircase were sheathed in flame mahogany, a perfect backdrop for this mahogany timekeeping masterpiece for nearly 80 years. The second owners of the house and clock were William Joseph Gibbens, Jr. and his wife Florieda Batson (1901-1996) who by the end of 1930 moved into the elegant dwelling. After the passing of William, Florieda sold the mansion and gave the prized clock to her grandaughter, the present consignor in 1979. It is interesting to note that Florieda was the captain of the first Woman’s World Games in Paris, 1922. Called by some the “Woman’s Olympics,” these games were the prelude to allowing women to compete in the formerly all male Olympic Games. Her many silver trophies, like the clock, adorned the mansion. For other related examples with oak primary wood, please see Skinner, Inc., Clocks, Watches & Scientific Instruments, November 2, 2013, Lots 308 and 309. Please see back cover for additional detail view. $90,000-120,000
