Early Antique French Rococo Porcelain Boudoir Clock

~ French - Circa 1845 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A lovely early French porcelain clock by Samuel Marti. Beautifully styled in the Rococo style with C scrolls and flowing foliage. Delicately decorated with exquisite bouquets of flowers and heightened with gilt.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blue lettering and finely cut blued steel hands. The dial is signed for the retailer Hodgkins and Co.  Please note that this type of clock does not have a front or rear bezel or a rear cover.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video to hear the bell and watch the clock running.

Condition of the case is excellent with no significant damage. There is some wear to the over-glaze gilt decoration. Dial is excellent with just a faint hairline. 

The clock is marked on the backplate for the clockmaker Samuel Marti and the retailer Hodgkins and Co. Hodgkins and Co are listed as working in 1846 in Watch and Clockmakers of the world by Brian Loomes.

  


Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

About us  - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in  France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in  original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have  developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul  the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they  will run trouble free. 

Duty and Taxes - Most countries do not charge import duty on antiques. Some countries charge sales tax. For USA this will be collected by ebay. For UK VAT is included in the price and we pay that for you. For Australia there is sales tax, it will be collected by the courier. All other countries please check your customs website for details. Sadly we have no control over your countries tax regime!

International Shipping is no problem - fully insured
