Moms clocks France 18/19th Century?

One of the 5 impressive clocks in my late mothers home. I believe she bought in in France post WW2. It has the 2 heavy weights not seen in the picture.

 

for all clocks........ our experts need to see the backs open and the mechanism inside......
I know it's hard , but the workings are what's important here and may be different from the wood carving origin..

 

I will have to get them unpacked. One is Gilded wood maybe and the other 4 are Brass?

 

we can only guess without seeing the guts !
Style of the housing.....is another matter....
but you can have a shitty clock...in a great housing !

 

I see these sold as Dutch clocks?

 

The four large Brass/ones have all the original parts. (not like a clock mechanism inside a clock) We used to wind them up when I was a kid and with the weights and they would go for ever. The 1st one I have never seen the the back or inside. It will take a week to get pictures of the guts.

 

Thank you, that helps.

 

I used to see them at auctions, but that was decades ago so I could be wrong about them being Dutch ...memory goes y'know

 

Looks like a French morbier or comtoise.

 

I was with my mother as a child when she found some of her treasures. These were definitely outside of Paris, 1965-ish.

 

I just checked them out on the net and the internals look identical. Thank you!!!

 

Like blooey, my first thought was Dutch, but I have no idea where I picked up that idea.
