It has an arcaded, convex, enamelled dial with black Roman numerals and superb gilded hands. It is totally free from any chips, cracks or crazing.

FAQs

A four glass mantel clock, often referred to as a crystal regulator, features glass panels on all four sides and the top, allowing the internal movement and pendulum to be viewed from multiple angles.

These timepieces typically utilise a cast brass or ormolu frame housing bevelled glass panes, enclosing a brass clock movement and an enamelled dial.

Authentic pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries generally feature hand-bevelled glass secured in heavy brass cases, numbered mechanical movements, and mercury or compensated pendulums.

Positioning the clock on a prominent surface such as a mantelpiece or a sideboard allows the reflective metallic finish and transparent casing to catch the light effectively.

Dusting should be performed carefully using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the original gilding or damage the delicate glass and exposed mechanism.
