Ormolu and Green Onyx Boudoir Clock Set

by Samuel Marti

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original, antique French boudoir clock set. It is made of the most beautifully variegated, specimen green onyx. This is mounted with finely modelled ormolu (fine gilded brass / bronze) in the Louis XVI style. To the top of the clock is an onyx urn with ormolu handles and finial. Candelabra have carved onyx stems with twin ormolu branches of acanthus.

The dial is enamel on copper, decorated with delicate floral swags between the numbers. The hands are finely fretted gilt brass.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Samuel Marti mark on the backplate along with the retailers mark H&F Paris. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The onyx is also in very good condition, just some slight nibbles to the edges. The dial is also in excellent condition just some faint hair lining. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
