French Four Glass Regulator Mantle Clock Bow Fronted Enamel Inlay

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale the 1890s bow-fronted enamel French crystal regulator mantel clock in fully original condition with an eight-day running movement in a very nice large brass and enamel inlaid case and all run via a Mercury pendulum.

French made by Couillete & Co.

This clock has had the whole movement fully restored ultrasonic cleaned and hand polished around two months ago with new springs put in then re-built & oiled screws re-blued so runs strong for the eight days striking on a sweet blued gong to the rear.

The Case

The case is in solid brass and enamel with mega thick beveled glass sides in original condition, the case is very heavy standing 27cm high x 17cm wide with a depth of 12cm it is in perfect original condition very shiny, and has been very well looked after over the years, with 4 mm thick beveled glass on all four sides the front and back are doors which open with ease, all of the glass is in mint condition no chips or cracks.

The Dial

The dial is in original condition in white porcelain with blue Arabic numerals.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day time and strikes striking the hours and halves on a sweet blue gong a real quality movement, which still retains the original key and enameled Mercury pendulum.

The movement and clock is made in France around 1890 and is signed on the back plate.

The movement keeps spot on time over the eight days; she was serviced and oiled around two weeks ago but was fully ultrasonic cleaned new springs re-built all screws re-blued two months ago so in perfect running condition.

Overall a very beautiful clock quite rare in this original condition that looks great on display keeping a great time and looking even better. The photos do not do justice to this lovely old clock.

I will post but delivery is also possible via one of my two man and van guys please email me first for a cost and timescale.

FAQs

A French four-glass regulator mantel clock is a precision timepiece produced predominantly in the late 19th century, featuring four glass panels that expose the internal pendulum mechanism and escapement to full view.

These clocks typically feature cast and polished brass frames, bevelled or curved glass panels, hand-painted porcelain or enamel dials, and champleve or cloisonne enamel decorative borders.

Authentic period pieces feature heavy brass construction, hand-carved enamel channels, mercury-temperature-compensated pendulums, and movement plates stamped by maker trade marks such as Samuel Marti or Japy Freres.

Position the clock as a focal point on a marble fireplace mantelpiece, a dark wood sideboard centre, or within built-in library shelving, complemented by neutral walls to highlight the metallic and enamel details.

Dust the exterior casing regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes on the enamel elements. Mechanical movements require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
