Antique French Rococo Clock by Samuel Marti ~ French - Circa 1890 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A stunning original antique French gilt bronze clock by Samuel Marti. Beautifully made in he Rococo style, formed of sinuous curves of acanthus and scrolls, pieced to allow the pendulum to be glimpsed gently swinging within. Applied motifs and a gadrooned urn complete the design.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blued steel hands.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video below to hear the bell and watch the clock running.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also excellent with no damage. There are a few light scratches on the original glass.
