Description

A quality French mahogany cased mantel clock. This piece is made by Samuel Marti who was one of the prolific French clock-makers of the 1800s and was known to be working at the Le Pays de Montbeliard in Paris. Along with Japy Freres and Roux, they set up a business in 1863 to market their clock movements to such firms as L'Epee. Their Paris address was Rue Vieille-du-Temple from 1870. The clock features a French cylinder 8-day mechanical movement signed Samuel Marti which also has a strike mechanism on a gong. This has been fully serviced and is in full working condition. The dial is silvered with an applied chapter ring having black Roman numerals. The simple yet striking mahogany case is well made with a locking front glazed door.
