Candelabra are delicately modelled with acanthus supporting the two lights and a pineapple finial to the top. The dial is porcelain enamel with beautiful floral swags between the numbers and is complete with original finely fretted gilt hands and convex glass. The rear door is glazed with frosted glass and the clock set is modelled in the round for display from all angles. The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running. Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some wear and discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just some slight chips to the winding holes. Marble has an excellent polish and just an occasional tiny nibble to the edges, one candelabra has a chip to the rear.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free. |
