Antique French Clock
Egyptian Marble clock








The clock is made from a variegated marble with stepped and canted corners. To the front these are decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics, some with highlighted gilt decoration. The body of the clock I believe is black marble and the clock sits on four bronze pads.
The top of the clock is surmounted by a large bronze sphinx, which retains it's original patination.
The backplate bearing the name of the retailer 'Maple and Co Ltd, Paris' along with the trademark of the clockmaker 'Samuel Marti' showing the award of the 'Medaille d'Argent' in 1889 and stamped with a serial number. Samuel Marti et Cie were well known makers in Paris in the mid nineteenth century. In 1860 it's known that the premises were situated at Le Pays de Montbeliard and in 1863 Marti worked with two other well known maker's, Roux and Japy Freres, in promoting their clock movements.
The clock is of good dimensions.
This clock has been recently discovered after having sat in empty house in Devon, England, for the past twenty years.
