Early Antique French Rococo Porcelain Boudoir Clock

19th century
Description

A lovely early French porcelain clock by Samuel Marti. Beautifully styled in the Rococo style with C scrolls and flowing foliage. Delicately decorated with exquisite bouquets of flowers and heightened with gilt.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blue lettering and finely cut blued steel hands. The dial is signed for the retailer Hodgkins and Co. Please note that this type of clock does not have a front or rear bezel or a rear cover.

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 original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video of the clock, please ask and we will send you a link or paste this into your browser:

The clock is marked on the backplate for the clockmaker Samuel Marti and the retailer Hodgkins and Co. Hodgkins and Co are listed as working in 1846 in Watch and Clockmakers of the world by Brian Loomes.

FAQs

A Rococo porcelain boudoir clock is a small, decorative timepiece featuring an ornate porcelain casing decorated with rocaille scrollwork, shell motifs, and hand-painted details. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century France, these clocks were specifically designed for intimate domestic spaces such as bedrooms or private sitting rooms.

French porcelain clocks typically feature hard-paste or soft-paste porcelain casings adorned with hand-painted enamel and gilded accents. The clock movements are constructed from brass and steel, often housed behind a cast brass or gilt bronze bezel with an enamel dial.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-painted floral or figural vignettes, subtle gilding wear consistent with age, and hand-painted Roman or Arabic numerals on an enamel face. Stamped maker marks, serial numbers, or Parisian foundry marks on the rear brass movement also indicate authenticity.

Place the timepiece centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, dressing table, or hallway console to create a focused decorative accent. Pairing the ornate ceramic form with modern minimalist backdrop surfaces creates an effective visual contrast.

Dust the porcelain casing gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water, detergents, or abrasive polishes on areas with gilded accents, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced periodically by a qualified horologist.
