French Samuel Marti Figural Mantel Clock in Bronze and Ormolu, circa 1880
French Samuel Marti Figural Mantel Clock in Bronze and Ormolu, circa 1880

French Samuel Marti Figural Mantel Clock in Bronze and Ormolu, circa 1880

Located in Nottingham, GB

A richly decorative late 19th-century French figural mantel clock attributed to the celebrated clockmaker Samuel Marti, combining sculptural bronze work with an elaborate ormolu-mounted case. The clock is surmounted by a finely modelled seated female figure in classical dress, posed gracefully above the movement and accompanied by floral and symbolic ornament. Her flowing robes, softly rendered features and relaxed posture give the composition a distinctly Romantic character, while the darker bronze finish provides an attractive contrast with the gilded base below. The architectural case is exceptionally ornate, with scrolling Rococo-inspired foliage, acanthus decoration, pierced flourishes and richly cast gilt-bronze detailing. Two oval porcelain panels decorated with delicate floral sprays flank the central dial and add a refined decorative accent to the composition. The original white enamel dial displays black Roman numerals and elegant hands within a finely cast gilt surround. The movement is supplied with its key and pendulum. The clock winds and ticks but has not been tested for prolonged accuracy after a period in storage. As with many antique mechanical clocks...

Antique Ormolu Clocks, Lamps and Other Furniture and Decorative Objects for Sale

Antique ormolu furniture and decorative objects can be incorporated into a variety of spaces, and while demand for the material and/or technique was at its peak in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, ormolu is still widely loved by designers and collectors today.

What is ormolu?

Ormolu is a brilliant form of decorative trickery. To the untrained eye, ormolu clocks, jewelry boxes and other ormolu furniture and decor look like they're made of solid gold. But those in the know recognize ormolu — or elaborate bronze gilding — as having been essential to French design in the 18th and 19th centuries as a cornerstone of the neoclassical and Empire styles.

“Most commonly, ormolu refers to a bronze object that has been covered with gold, typically 18 karat or 24 karat,” explains Jamie Sinai, director of the antiques specialist Mayfair Gallery, in London. “For that reason, ormolu is sometimes called gilt bronze or, in French, bronze doré. Strictly speaking, however, the term ormolu also denotes the technique of applying gold to a metal.”

“The word comes from the French or moulu, which translates as ‘ground or powdered gold’ — the form the gold takes before it is applied to a metal surface.”

From the court of King Louis XVI to that of Napoleon I, the French elite snapped up furniture mounted with ormolu, as well as sconces, candelabra and table lamps made from the material. “As the French reputation for supreme art, architecture and furniture developed, the craze for ormolu spread across Europe,” adds Sinai.

Today, antiques collectors and interior designers continue to prize ormolu for its extraordinary craftsmanship and history-infused glamour. 

“This wondrous material was highly sought after in France as the ultimate luxury. It magically resembled solid gold and sparkled under candlelight,” says Sinai.
