A stunning original antique French gilt bronze clock by Samuel Marti. Beautifully made in he Rococo style, formed of sinuous curves of acanthus and scrolls, pieced to allow the pendulum to be glimpsed gently swinging within. Applied motifs and a gadrooned urn complete the design.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blued steel hands.

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 a replacement.
