Description

Hi

I have for sale a 1890s French crystal regulator mantel clock in original condition with a eight day running movement in a very nice large gilded case and all run via a large vial Mercury pendulum.

French made by Samuel Marti & Co.

The Case

The case is in solid gilded brass with mega thick bevelled glass sides in original condition, the case is very heavy standing 29cm high x 17cm wide with a depth of 14cm it is in perfect original condition very shiny has been very well looked after over the years, with 8 mm thick bevelled glass on all four sides the front and back are doors which open with ease, all of the glass is in mint condition no chips or cracks.

The Dial

The dials are in original condition in white porcelain with gilded viable escapement work to the front looks really good ticking away with the bold Roman Numerals and the original ruby pallets.

The Movement

The movement is an eight day time and strike striking the hours and halves on a sweet bell a real quality movement, which still retains the original key and Perfect Mercury pendulum.

The movement and clock is made in France around 1890.

Made by Samuel Marti and company.

The movement keeps spot on time over the eight days; she was serviced and oiled around two weeks ago but was fully ultra sonic cleaned new springs re-built all screws re-blued two years ago so in perfect running condition.

Overall a very beautiful clock quite rare in this original condition that looks great on display keeping great time and looking even better. The photos do not do justice to this lovely old clock.

I will post but delivery is also possible via one of my two man and van guys please email me first for a cost and timescale.

FAQs

A crystal regulator clock is a mantel timepiece featuring bevelled glass panels on all sides held within a brass or gilt frame, allowing the movement and pendulum to be viewed from multiple angles, popularised in France during the late 19th century.

These clocks are typically constructed with a cast brass or gilt bronze frame housing heavy bevelled glass plates, enclosing an intricate spring-driven or weight-driven mechanical brass movement and often featuring a compensated mercury-style pendulum.

Authentic 19th-century models typically feature numbered brass clockwork movements, hand-painted enamel chapter rings, finely cast brass frames with visible tool marks, and heavy bevelled plate glass rather than modern float glass.

Place the clock on a flat surface such as a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or office desk where its transparent case can catch the light and reflect surrounding textures, contrasting cleanly with minimalist or contemporary decor.

Keep the clock out of direct sunlight and away from dampness to protect the delicate metal finishes and glass. Professional servicing every three to five years by a qualified horologist ensures the mechanical movement remains lubricated and functional.
