S. Marti 19th Century Medaille De Argent French Antique Clock c.1900
Another stunning example of a Samuel Marti’s brilliance in clock making. It’s been serviced, and even the slightest nudge starts the pendulum.
It is in magnificent condition.
Crystal has no chips. Porcelain face is absolutely beautiful!!
The company and clock maker is Samuel Marti & Cie. This movement is stamped with his signature S. Marti and “MEDAILLE D’OR”.
In 1889 Marti won the MEDAILLE d’Argent (silver) and the next year won the Medaille d’Or (gold) in Paris in 1900.
The company was in business considerably longer than 80 years, and clearly was a force in the French clock horological society of the time. This clock is a fantastic example of Marti’s early works.
