Substantial French 8 Day Mantle Clock by Samuel Marti

19th century
Description

Super quality and very decorative mantle clock by Samuel Marti of Paris, circa 1890.

This is a good size mantle clock, shown on a pier cabinet for a perspective.

The 8 day movement runs very well, keeping accurate time and also have a very gentle “gong.”

Rich mahogany and decorated with brass mounts, original white enamelled dial and a domed glass with brass bezel.

The rear of the clock has a glass panel, showing the working mechanism and further brass inlay to the inside of the door.

Great clock, the size it is will stand on a much wider piece of furniture if not placing it on a deep mantle.

Measurements:

14 1/2 inches or 37 cm high

9 3/4 inches or 25 cm wide

5 1/2 inches or 14 cm deep

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

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 eight-day mantel clocks are mechanical timekeepers produced predominantly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, engineered to run for eight full days between manual windings. Renowned clockmakers such as Samuel Marti crafted these movements with standardised precision, housing them in polished timber or brass cases suited for domestic display.

These timepieces usually feature fine timber cases made of mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, accented with cast brass or bronze gilt mounts. Dial assemblies feature porcelain or enamel faces protected by convex glass set within beaded brass bezels.

Authentic Samuel Marti movements are typically stamped on the rear brass plate with a circular trademark reading S. Marti et Cie along with medals awarded at Paris exhibitions. Additionally, genuine pieces display serial numbers matching the pendulum or movement casting marks.

Position the clock centrally on a living room mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard to create a focal point. Balance the dark mahogany wood and reflective brass accents alongside modern minimalist ceramic vases or framed monochrome artwork.

Keep the wooden casing away from direct sunlight, dampness, and central heating radiators to prevent veneer cracking. Dust the exterior gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced and lubricated by a qualified horologist every five years.
