Home Sweet Home # 28

   Welcome to Home Sweet Home!  I am visiting at the original charming home today and they have some lovely treasures.  This is a French clock handmade in Paris at the time of the French Revolution, 1780.  It is hand made by pegged mortis-tenon construction.  For those of us who are non-woodworkers, that means extremely strong with no nails.   I just had to show it off it is so pretty.

We have to look a little closer at the face.   The face is made out of brass and the numbers are porcelain.

Do you see the roosters on either side of the hour hand?  
 
All of it hand carved out of walnut.
Here the traditional French Country floral motif.  I thought you Francophiles would love this.  Very inspiring don't you think?
Thanks for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
Now, I would like to feature some wonderful post from last week's Home Sweet Home.
 First, Fabby at Fabby's Living showed off a beautiful blue and white table.  Click the link to view.

    Hi Sherry...

    Ohhh...the French clock is magnificent, Sherry! All of those beautiful french scrolls in the carvings really are gorgeous! I also loved the brass face and how ornate it was as well! How unique...that the numbers were made of porcelain. Truly a beautiful clock! Thank you so much for sharing it with us...and thank you for hosting another Charm of Home party!

    Ohhh my goodness...I was just so surprised to find my frenchy studio showcased, Sherry! Thank you sooo very much! I am joining your party this week with the "finale" of my french studio. Thanks again, sweet lady!

    Warmest summery wishes,
