Marti France Rouge Griotte Marble And Bronze Ormulu Mantle Clock Circa 1860-1870","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mantel clock of this presence needs no introduction — and yet, it commands one. Cased in rich rouge griotte marble from the French Pyrenees, its deep burgundy ground veined in white and crimson, this magnificent Rococo Revival timepiece is mounted throughout in finely cast ormolu — acanthus scroll feet, foliate side medallions, and a theatrical finial that stops the eye and holds it. This is French decorative arts at full confidence.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement is by S. Marti \u0026amp; Cie of Montier-en-Der, one of France’s most celebrated clockmakers and multiple recipient of gold medals at international exhibitions. The open porcelain dial with its signature brass dragon fret center is a hallmark of early Marti production, and the low serial number places this among their earliest work — likely the 1860s to 1870s, well before the mass-market pieces that followed. An 8-day bell-strike movement, substantial and serious, built to last centuries — as it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Maker: S.
