For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale the most beautiful fully restored solid brass French crystal regulator mantel clock in great original condition with an eight-day movement striking on a gong.

The case style is very unusual never really seen another with a painted centre piece and matching enamel mercury pendulum the whole clock is a work of art.

The Case

The case is in solid brass the clock is very heavy standing 32cm high x 22cm wide with a depth of 13cm it is in very good original condition and has been very well looked after over the years, with thick bevelled glass on 3 sides all in perfect original condition.

The Dial

The dial is in white porcelain with hand-painted swags of flowers and the most amazing enamel centre piece with the rare blue Arabic numerals and has a slow and fast adjuster above the numeral twelve.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strike, striking the hours and halves on a gong a real quality movement, which still retains the original key and enamel & mercury pendulum.

The movement keeps spot on time over the eight days; she was fully restored then serviced and oiled around two months ago with new springs so looking great in the case.

The key is still present.

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

Happy to ship or have it delivered at the buyer's cost.

FAQs

Produced predominantly between the late nineteenth century and 1914, French Belle Epoque mantel clocks frequently feature gilt brass or bronze frames embellished with champleve enamelling. They incorporate decorative floral motifs, polychrome scrollwork, and hand-painted enamel panels influenced by classical or Rococo revival aesthetics.

These timepieces were built using cast brass or bronze, which was subsequently gilded or polished. The decorative panels utilise champleve or cloisonne enamelling techniques on copper or bronze substrates, paired with bevelled glass, porcelain dials, and steel movement components.

Authentic period clocks typically exhibit hand-cut or cast recessed metal cells for enamel application, displaying slight variations in texture. Movements are frequently stamped with French maker marks, serial numbers, or medals of origin on the back plate, alongside hand-painted dial details rather than printed transfers.

A French enamel mantel clock can serve as a focal decorative object when placed on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table. Pairing the piece with neutral backdrops, contemporary artwork, or simple glass vessels allows its detailed gilding and enamelling to stand out without overcrowding the space.

Dust the exterior using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or fine brush to clear crevices. Avoid chemical polishes, abrasives, or liquid cleaners on the enamel and gilding, as these can strip protective lacquers and damage delicate enamelled surface cells.
