~ French - Circa 1880 ~
~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
The brass has been polished and lacquered and has a lovely clean and bright finish. It features a large ornamental brass bell hanging above the movement. The case is designed as a huge, elaborate, arched bracket from which the bell and movement hang. The pendulum is visible swinging below.

The large dial is enamel on copper and is complete with original blued steel hands.
The French movement has the Samuel Marti mark on the movement backplate. It is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days on one wind 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 with clean and bright finish and there are no losses, there is some very minor wear and a very small bracket has been added to the top of the bell for some reason (hardly noticeable). The dial is also in excellent condition, no chips or scratches.

Samuel Marti mark on the movement backplate.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required. A stunning Gothic centrepiece ready for your home or castle!

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
