French Bow Fronted Enamel Crystal Regulator 1890s

19th century
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale the 1890s bow-fronted enamel French crystal regulator mantel clock in 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.

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 and an enamel center.

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.

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 crystal regulator is a style of precision mantel clock introduced in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, defined by a gilt brass frame with four bevelled glass panels that reveal the internal movement and pendulum.

These timepieces are constructed using cast brass or gilt bronze frames, thick bevelled glass panes, enamel dials, and often feature faux or real mercury temperature-compensated pendulums.

Authentic nineteenth-century French examples typically display stamped maker marks on the rear movement, mercury-filled pendulum vials, hand-applied champleve or cloisonne enamel accents, and heavy bevelled glass plates.

Place the clock centrally on a stone fireplace mantelpiece, atop a dark wood credenza, or within a styled bookcase alongside structured decorative objects to anchor the surface.

Dust the brass and glass exterior with a soft microfiber cloth, avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that can damage the enamel gilding, and have the internal mechanical movement professionally serviced and lubricated every five to seven years.
