About the Item

French Napoleon III Boulle clock, Paris second half of 19th century. The clockwork was made by the famous company Samuel Martin & Cie, circa 1870-1890. (Makers Mark on the back). The cases beautifully designed with bronze details and Boulle technique inlays. A detailed sculpted bronze victory figure stands a top the clock steeple. The clock face features a decorative bronze relief. White enamel cartouches with blue enamel Roman numerals, I-XII, identifying the hours, surround the clock face. Additionally there are twelve smaller bronze enclosures of white enamel with black arabic numerals in increments of five (5-60), identifying the minutes. The clock has an eight day key wind movement and bell striking on the half hour. It is in original working condition but the clockwork should probably be cleaned at one point.
