Stanislaus Fournier Wall Clock, New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1870

Stanislaus Fournier Wall Clock, New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1870, brass eight day weight driven movement, carved mahogany case with cut glass window to expose a large brass pendulum

Note: Born in St. Aubin de Cauf, Normandy, Stanislaus Fournier was apprenticed at the Lepaute firm of Paris who sent him to install a large clock in New Orleans' St. Louis Hotel in 1841 or 1842. Prompted by the lack of clock and watchmakers in the city, Fournier opened a shop on Toulouse Street after his seven month hotel project was complete. Fournier soon relocated to 60 Royal Street, where he worked for twenty years, and his apprentice, E. Barbier, remained for another thirty. Reference: J.M. Kinabrew, "Stanislaus Fournier, New Orleans Clock and WatchMaker " National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Bulletin, April 1997, pp. 189-192.
