Stunning ormolu (finely gilded bronze) mounted on a marble base. It is decorated with an inset laurel swag, trailing acanthus and a classical motif to the sides.

To the top is a handled urn with a floral finial. The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with pretty floral swag between the numbers and is complete with its original finely fretted hands and convex glass.

It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just very tiny nibbles next to the Brocot shaft above the twelve.

Marble is also very good with nibbles to the edges and slight discolouration in places. Samuel Marti clockmaker's mark on the movement backplate. Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
