A superb French ‘regulator’ mantel clock of the late 19th century. On display within the four very thick bevelled ‘white’ glass panels is a two piece enamel dial in superb condition, with small Roman numerals on the outer dial, as well as the central visible Brocot escapement, numbered ‘7398’, to the reverse of the dial. The recently overhauled 8-day French movement, striking the hour and half hour on a bell, and the sealed mercury compensating pendulum suspended below. Sitting on a plinth base with bracket feet, the attractive floral engraved case has been re-gilded. Sold with a 24 month guarantee.

FAQs

A four glass clock is a style of mantel timepiece featuring bevelled glass panels on all four sides and the top, housed in a brass or gilt frame, allowing the movement and pendulum to be viewed from multiple angles.

These clocks typically utilise cast brass or fire-gilt bronze cases, heavy bevelled plate glass panels, and enamelled dials with delicate metal hands.

Maintain these timepieces by keeping them out of direct sunlight and high humidity, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the brass, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years.

Placing the clock on a prominent surface like a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table allows its reflective glass and polished metal to introduce a layer of classic sophistication and functional art.

Authentic pieces generally feature numbered mechanical movements stamped by French makers, hand-engraved details on the gilt brass frame, and original mercury or gridiron pendulums.
