Antique French Gilt Bronze Rococo Clock - Fully Restored

19th century
Description

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful clock of ornate Rococo design, the case finely cast with scrolling acanthus and rocaille ornament, the front and sides with pierced lattice panels back with fabric, raised upon a shaped plinth with boldly scrolling feet. The circular porcelain enamel dial has Roman numerals between delicately scrolling floral swags with pierced gilt hands. The pendulum can just be glimpsed swinging gently above the base.

Crowning the case is a finely cast urn, exuberantly issuing a profusion of flowers and foliage, a fitting flourish to the Rococo design. The dial is set behind a convex glazed bezel, while to the reverse a glazed door affords a view of the movement. Decorated in the round, the clock is as finely finished at the back as to the front, allowing it to be displayed with equal effect upon a table center or positioned before a mirror, where its elegant form may be admired in full.

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 an old replacement. 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.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. There a small piece missing to the front sound fret. We have replaced the fabric with fresh. Dial is also excellent with just some slight wear to the lettering.

Samuel Marti clockmaker's mark on the movement backplate

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

French Rococo gilt bronze clocks, popularised during the 18th century, feature elaborate scrollwork, asymmetrical curves, foliage motifs, and high-quality mercury gilded finishes known as ormolu.

These clocks typically combine cast bronze cases coated with gold mercury amalgam, hand-enamelled dial plates with Roman numerals, and brass clockwork mechanisms with steel balance springs.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast bronze construction, intricate hand-chased detailing, stamped Parisian maker or movement serial numbers, and natural wear or oxidisation to the gilded surfaces.

Position the clock as a focal point on a modern marble fireplace mantelpiece, minimalist console table, or dark wooden sideboard to create an engaging visual contrast between classical ornament and contemporary lines.

Dust surface areas regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding abrasive polishes, harsh chemical cleaners, or water, which can degrade the delicate historical gilding.
