GUEST: My grandfather collected it. He was a collector of fine antiques. I think it's from France, but I have no idea of the value or anything about it. We've researched it. We can't find anything.
APPRAISER: It is a French clock. It was made circa 1890. And it's called an annular clock. And it's interesting because it's in the form of an urn. It was made by the Selsi company in Paris, and they made a number of great clocks. As you can see, it has this enameled cartouche numerals.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And this would be the time ring for the hours right here.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And this would be the time ring for the minutes. And as you wind this clock up, these rotate.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: And the indicator is the tongue of the snake.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Which is fantastic. Very high-quality clock. It has 13 jewels in it, and it's also signed. And if I pop the top of the lid off here, the signature is down in here, and it's hard to see.
GUEST: Oh, yeah.
APPRAISER: It does say, "Selsi, Paris."
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It sits on this marble base. It has this wonderful patina on it, on these ormolu mounts. It's all... the gilding's all original. The condition of it is just exceptional. It's one of the better ones I've seen. It is a miniature. Usually I see them about twice this size.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: For a retail value, I would say, $2,000.
GUEST: Wow, that's great. I appreciate it.
