Antique French Gothic Candelabra Clock Set - S Marti.

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~

A super antique Gothic clock set of lacquered brass. The clock case is of open fret work and is decorated with floral and fabric swags, the fabric swags being particularly effective. Three light candelabra have matching fret work bases and are complete with snuffers and sconces. The dial has been made in the style of 18th century examples, being solid and mounted with individual enamelled copper cartouches for each hour. Convex glass is fitted to the bezel. The S Marti et Sie mark - pictured below - is on the back plate of the movement, there is also the Paris retailers mark "Horlogerie, Paris".

The French movement is of excellent quality and runs for 8 days and strikes on a bell and is in excellent, clean and running condition - it is complete with the original bell and pendulum.

Condition of the clock and candelabra is excellent, there are no losses and the enamel cartouches of the dial have no cracks or chips. The finish of the brass is very good - the lacquer is in good condition and the finish is bright in the high spots, darker in other areas. The case has not been over polished and has an antique appearance. The blued steel hands are original.

A lovely, small candelabra clock set!
