The sides of the case are also fretted and the back door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. The set is very well modelled in brass which has a lovely clean and bright finish. Dial is particularly pretty, enamel on copper decorated with delicately painted floral swag. Candelabra are complete with snuffers. The five arms are delicately modelled as entwining foliage, standing above urns with 'c' scroll handles. The set is of very good quality with crisp, sharp and finely detailed modelling and the gilding has a lovely clean and bright finish.

The French movement is of very good quality and has the Fritz Marti mark on the backplate. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes half-hourly on a bell. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker who has also replaced the pendulum. Click the video clip below to see and hear the movement working!

Condition of the case is excellent with a bright and clean finish, some minor wear on the high spots. The rear left hand foot of the clock has been repaired / replaced. Dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches. The candelabra are slightly distorted. The set looks great as you can see in the pictures below!

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 employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
