This is a unique, authentic antique French table or mantel clock. It is very large and it was made in the Louis XV style. It was made around 1840-1860. It has a white enamel dial, with Roman numerals and Arabic 5 minute intervals on it. It works and chimes perfectly, everything was checked and cleaned by professional clock makers. It still has its original authentic gilded bronze work (it was fire gilded in gold) and it is a true eye-catcher. It has been cleaned very thoroughly and professionally by a specialist, it has also been oiled. The clock has an 8-day timepiece and it strikes every half and full hour. It comes complete with its pendulum, re-winding key and bell. It comes with everything.
The timepiece is stamped by S. Marti ( Samuel Marti)et fils ( and sons) and Medaille de Bronze.
This big clock is exceptionally beautiful in that it combines true creative artistry with conventional, classical figurine aesthetics. Its beautiful decorative base, held up by gilded legs, was beautifully decorated with a fine decorative bronze all around. On top of that base there is another bronze base that keeps the clock up. Again, it carries beautifully finely decorated gilded bronze decorations with the typical Louis XV flowers, branches and leaf structures. Even the sides of the clock were beautifully decorated, this item is nice to look at from all sides.
Then, on top of the clock, is a baby figure with a musical instrument. The scenery is very lively and its aesthetic qualities are very telling of the quality of their makers: the way in which the flowers and branches around the baby are shaped, the lively manner in which the putti sits in the scene and the expression on the face: this is clearly a very skilled clock maker. Some small parts of this clock show minor signs of wear; however this is only due to its age and authenticity. The branches and leaves and the large ornament in the middle on top of the clock are all very typical for the Louis XV period—this is a highly decorative piece that will be a beautiful eye-catcher in any room.It is a piece of very heavy quality and is quite large for its kind, this is a very unique item.
The measurements of this clock are about: 26 inch (65 cm) high .
This clock will be a beautiful eye-catcher in any room or place that it is put in. It is a very fine quality piece of art.
