Antique French Rococo Boudoir Table Clock ~ Samuel Marti

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~ 

Stunning antique French boudoir clock. The style is Rococo, waisted keyhole shape with acanthus leaf shoulders, 'C' scroll feet and surmounted by a floral finial. It stands on its original integral base. The sides of the case are fretted and backed with red velvet and the front is fretted to allow the pendulum to be seen swinging. The rear door of the clock is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. The design is beautifully bold and heavily moulded in brass, well chased and finished. It is modelled in the round and so would display very well on a table.  

Dial is a beautiful enamel on copper with the hours in Roman numerals, and an Arabic minute ring. It is complete with its original delicately fretted brass hands.

The French movement is by Samuel Marti and is of excellent quality, their mark is on the movement backplate along with that of the retailer's mark LF. It is in clean and fully working condition and is complete with an old replacement pendulum. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell, click the movie below to see and hear the movement!

The finish of the brass is excellent - bright and clean. There are some minor areas of wear or discoloration. The dial is in excellent condition with no chips or scratches. We have replaced the red velvet with new.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
