Antique French Ormolu and White Marble Louis Xvi Clock

1900 - 1920
Description

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful classical clock made in the style of Louis XVI by Samuel Marti. Stunning ormolu (finely gilded bronze) mounted on a marble base. It is decorated with an inset laurel swag, trailing acanthus and a classical motif to the sides. To the top is a handled urn with a floral finial.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with pretty floral swag between the numbers and is complete with its original finely fretted hands and convex glass. The rear door is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

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: https://www.facebook.com/DragonAntiques/videos/443485678114931

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just very tiny nibbles next to the Brocot shaft above the twelve. Marble is also very good with nibbles to the edges and slight discolouration in places.

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

Louis XVI style clocks are characterised by Neoclassical design principles, drawing inspiration from classical antiquity with symmetrical forms, fluted columns, laurel wreaths, floral garlands, and urn finials.

These timepieces were typically constructed using gilded bronze (ormolu) achieved through mercury gilding, paired with carved white or black marble bases and hand-painted enamel dials.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy, hand-chased bronze castings with detailed finishing, movement maker signatures or stamps on the back plate, and period-appropriate escapement mechanisms.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or sideboard, balanced by contemporary artwork or subtle foliage to anchor the room scheme.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush; avoid chemical polish or water on gilt bronze to prevent damage to the original surface patina, and ensure the clock movement is serviced by a professional horologist.
