A brass and copper Victorian mantel clock, flanked on either side with ornate columns. Height 39 cm, width 22 cm, depth 14.5 cm.The movement winds on both trains. It appears to be ticking away. When the hands are advanced the clock does strike, however this is continuous, and it does not stop. The strike hammer is missing the gong, but this should easily adjust. The pendulum is present, and we have a key which is probably not original. The case is complete with no losses, however the brasswork is generally tarnished and there is a lot of dust and dirt particularly around the columns and copper sections. The face is generally dirty and there are some minor losses to the paint work on the Arabic numerals. Both doors are original and present.
Y A FRENCH LOUIS PHILIPPE ROSEWOOD CASED CARRIAGE CLOCKHENRY MARC, PARIS, CIRCA 1845The rectangular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with gilt Jules type two-tier platform lever escapement regulated by helical sprung split bimetallic balance with wedge-shaped timing weights, the backplate stamped with H'Y MARC, PARIS oval trademark to centre over serial number 18752, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands, inscribed H'Y MARC, A PARIS to lower margin and set within geometric engraved gilt brass canted surround, the bevel glazed rosewood case with hinged brass baton carrying handle over rectangular top glass and ripple moulded cornice incorporating rounded angles, the front and sides with conforming glazed apertures and the rear with hinged door set within the frame of the case, on elaborate two-tier ripple moulded skirt base with shallow pad feet.21cm (8.25ins) high with handle down, 14.5cm (5.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Henry Marc is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as probably a retailer of various mantel and other small clocks and refers to a relatively early carriage clock (number 26886) supplied to Marc by Japy Freres. However the movement of the present clock can be closely compared to that of a clock by Jules illustrated by Allix and Bonnert on page 73 (Plates 11/47-48), this would strongly suggest that the mechanism for the current clock was most probably supplied by Jules. Condition Report: Movement is somewhat dirty/discoloured but will run and strike albeit lazily hence a clean/service is required. There is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial has a filled chip to the upper left-hand corner otherwise appears free form visible defects. The case is in sound condition but shows evidence of having 'come apart' at the junction between the glazed sections and the base. Hence the case has been re-glued and pinned at this point hence some cracks to the veneers and slight surplus glue are visible. The right-hand side glass has a very small chip to the front lower corner (only visible on very close examination) otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Andre Romain Guilmet was born on the 10th of December 1827 in La Ferte-Gaucher, France. He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side.
