Huge Antique French Gilt Brass Clock Set

by Samuel Marti

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very large and impressive original antique French gilt brass clock set, standing at 30" in height. It is Louis XVI style and features an elabarate fretted panel to the front, allowing the pendulum to be seen swinging within the case. It is architectural in style, Corinthian columns to each side, scrolls and acanthus leaves and swags and bows. Candelabra are conforming in style with large classical handled urns surmounted by 6 light candelabrum.

This is a stunning, very large clock set with a superb original gild.

The dial is enamel on copper with a pretty floral swag around the inside. It is fitted with the original fretted brass hands.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Samuel Marti clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip 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 and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.

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