Antique Clock Set, Gilt Brass Louis Xvi Style by Samuel Marti

Antique Clock Set, Gilt Brass Louis XVI Style by Samuel Marti

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful Louis XVI style clock set 'Garniture de Cheminee'. It is very well modelled in brass in the Louis XVI style. The case is architecturally shaped, profusely decorated with floral swags. The front and sides of the case are finely fretted to allow the pendulum to be glimpsed swinging within the case. Candelabra are conforming in style with bold 4 branch candelabra above urns with flaming handles.

The large dial is enamel on copper with a fretted brass centre and original blued steel hands. Above the centre is a rubbed retailers name.

The French movement is by Samuel Marti and has the makers mark on the 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 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 dial is also in excellent condition no damage, the retailers signature is partly rubbed. 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.

Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
