'Pendule D'officier' Old Gilt Mantel Clock

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A fine gilt Pendule d’Officier Clock with a superb 8 day duration movement on a jeweled lever and silvered escapement. The beautifully ‘engine turned’ dial showing black Arabic numerals with minutes to the outer edge. Early style true Breguet hands with the cut out on the tip. Strike on the hour and once for the half hours and interestingly on two gongs creating a good mellow tone. The case having floral and ribbon gilt mounts and musical instruments and in the classic ‘Pagoda’ shape. Surmounted by a classical drop handle to carry. Standing on four fine ‘Lions paw’ feet. Circa 1890. If you can visit to see this clock we think you’ll agree, it’s quite impressive. This is the only one have seen with musical instruments cast into the design, which leads us to believe this may have been made by specialcomission for someone with a musical connection 130 years ago.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A pendule dofficier, or officers clock, originated in late eighteenth-century France as a portable timepiece designed for military officers during campaigns, characterised by a sturdy casing and a top carrying handle.

These clocks are typically constructed from cast brass or bronze, frequently treated with gilt lacquer or fire gilding (ormolu), and fitted with a mechanical movement behind glass dials.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-chased castings, original engine-turned or enamel dials, age-appropriate patination on the gilding, and stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the rear movement backplate.

Place the clock on a modern mantelpiece, console table, or minimalist bookshelf alongside clean-lined ceramics to create a balanced dialogue between classic craft and modern design.

Dust the exterior surface gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth or fine brush, avoiding liquid cleansers or metal polishes that can strip gilded surface coatings, and have the mechanical movement serviced every five years.
