This seventeenth century style bracket clock dates from around 1900 and operates with a French movement by Samuel Marti. The timber case wears a black lacquer finish with gilt Chinoiserie landscape decoration across the surfaces, caddy top, and borders. Cast brass components include an ornate pierced carrying handle, decorative spandrel corner mounts around the dial, and small spherical feet supporting the base. The silvered dial ring displays black Roman numerals alongside ornate dark hands, accompanied by two winding and adjusting holes above the six o'clock position. The case measures 33 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, reaching 38 cm high when including the handle. Such a timepiece suits placement upon a mantelpiece, desk, or side table within a gentleman's library, study, or drawing room. The eight day movement strikes on the hour and half hour, bringing traditional mechanical function to daily interior life. Original keys are present for winding and securing the front door, maintaining the piece in complete original operational order. The compact proportions allow placement in smaller spaces while providing a striking visual focal point through its contrasting black and gold colour scheme and detailed metallic accents.

A Chinoiserie bracket clock is a portable table timepiece featuring a decorated lacquered or japanned case adorned with East Asian-inspired imagery, popularised in Europe during the late seventeenth century.

These clocks typically feature a wooden casing treated with layers of dark lacquer or varnish, detailed with gilt paintwork, brass spandrels, and a silvered or brass dial ring.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-applied japanned lacquer decoration with subtle surface craquelure, cast brass mounts around the dial, and hand-cut mechanical gears within the movement.

Position the timepiece on a central fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or library shelf, balancing its detailed pattern with neutral backdrops or dark wood surfaces.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid chemical polishes or water on lacquered areas, and maintain a stable indoor environment away from direct heat sources.
