About the Item
An exquisite example of 19th-century French horology, this gilt bronze and crystal case regulator clock was crafted by the renowned Samuel Marti in France, 1873. This elegant timepiece beautifully combines precise engineering with luxurious materials and masterful design. The clock features a finely detailed gilt bronze frame with classical ornamentation, housing four faceted cut-glass column supports that give the case a refined architectural presence. Resting on four bronze feet, the structure is crowned by a decorative urn finial, adding a sculptural flourish to its commanding silhouette.
Inside, a hand-painted porcelain dial sits behind a beveled glass front door, featuring delicate Roman numerals and elegant gilt hands. The clock is powered by a high-quality French 8-day brass spring-driven movement with a mercurial pendulum, ensuring both accuracy and visual intrigue. The movement is signed "Samuel Marti, Made in France", a mark of distinction in French clockmaking. It stands approximately 17" high x 10.75" wide x 5.25" deep. Great overall antique condition. Minor wear to the edges of the gilding, consistent with age & use. The movement functions properly and keeps time.
A stunning and sophisticated piece, ideal for a mantel, console, or collection display. This regulator clock is not only a precise timekeeper but also a captivating conversation piece—a true testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of 19th-century French decorative arts.
