Here is a.....
Fantastic, Hand Painted, Antique French Mantle clock signed Dumas, L Martie Et Cie, Medaille Dargent 1889
Here is the chance to own a hand Painted Antique French Mantle clock.
This is signed Dumas and is decorated with gilt feet and shoulders.
The movement is marked L Martie Et Cie, Medaille Dargent 1889.
The dial is decorated with a festoon of flowers, with very ornate hands.
The clock chimes and has its pendulum and its key.
The pendulum will swing for a few seconds but then stops, so this will need looking at.
The only damage if any that I can see is crazing to the glaze, and a tiny chip underneath to the base, also there are hairline cracks to the dial (shown on photograph).
There is a tiny amount of rubbing to the gilding, and where the clock has been moved there is slight wear to one side of the blue finish.
It is possible that something adorned the top as there is a small hole and the evidence of something resting lightly on either side (slight rubbing to the colour).
This comes with its original blue velvet and gilt wooden base.
It has a typically blue colouring for the time period to the sides and back that is finished off with beautifully hand painted gold stems of flowers, it is also signed on the back in gold Made In France.
Front glass is in nice condition and stays tightly shut.
