Comtoise Wall Clock, Small, Rare

19th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Dating from circa 1895 this small eight day striking French Comtoise wall clock is in very good condition. It has a lovely strike function on a spiral gong and being spring-wound as opposed to weight-driven this is more subtle than the larger Comtoise clocks normally found and therefore easier to find a home for. The brass surround has been carefully restored as has the movement and the dial is in very good condition. The height of 12 inches doesnt include the pendulum and this clock comes with my standard two year guarantee

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Originating from the Franche-Comte region of France in the late 17th century, Comtoise clocks, also known as Morbier clocks, are traditional weight-driven timepieces characterised by embossed brass pediments and enamelled dials.

These clocks typically feature repousse brass surrounds, cast iron internal frames, enamel or porcelain dials displaying Roman numerals, and steel or brass pendulums.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-stamped or pressed repousse brasswork, multi-piece iron frame mechanisms, enamel dial plates with hand-painted numerals, and historical signs of horological craft.

Position the clock as a central feature on a neutral wall above a console table or sideboard, allowing the metallic brass detailing to coordinate with contemporary architectural features.

Dust the brass surround using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive metal polishes that can wear away the original finish, and have the internal movement serviced by a professional horologist.
