French Wood Clock Ask the dealer for something similar
Description

An attractive French mantel clock with a silk suspension in the 'Pendule portative' style with a decorative carrying handle. The glass is removed upwards to wind the clock and set the time via the tiny ebony handle. The dial is vitreous enamel showing the makers name and Roman numerals, it does have very slight chips around the winding holes but you have to be very close to see them! The clock is of 7 day duration and has a bell strike for the hour and the half hour. The case is Rosewood with boxwood inlays of geometric style. A glass aperture to the top and one to each side in a diamond shape. The rear door opens to reveal a fully overhauled mechanism stamped with the Raingo stamp. The clock was made and retailed by Raingo of Paris who produced superb clocks throughout the mid 19th Century. Zacharie Joseph Raingo (1775 – 1847), a clockmaker was born in Belgium in 1775. Z.J.Raingo specialised in creating astronomical or Orrery clocks. One of these a planetary pendulum clock made in 1824, was purchased by King George IV of England and is now housed in Windsor Castle. When servicing this clock we discovered that the spring had been lightly scratched with the date 1846, we think this may date the clock quite accurately.

FAQs

French mantel clocks from the 19th century typically feature refined wooden or gilt bronze cases, often housing precision mechanical movements and enamel dials, reflecting the high craftsmanship of Parisian horologists.

These timepieces were traditionally constructed using hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, frequently accented with cast brass or gilt bronze mounts, hand-painted enamel dials, and delicate string inlay.

Authenticity is identified by examining the makers signature on the enamel dial or backplate, the quality of hand-cut brass gears within the mechanical movement, and the natural ageing of the wood and brass components.

Place the clock upon a prominent flat surface such as a mantelpiece, sideboard, or study desk to serve as a sophisticated focal point that contrasts cleanly against modern minimalist furnishings.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, wind the movement gently according to its specific mechanism, and have it professionally serviced every few years to ensure longevity.
