Made in the early 19th Century, this fully restored French 4 glass mantel clock features crystal glass and is set in a brass case with enamelled dial. Nearly all four-glass clocks have striking movements, striking the hours and half hours on either a bell or gong and this particular clock is no exception.
The majority of French four-glass clocks manufactured during the last quarter of the 19th century could not be simpler in design, offered as a refined alternative to some of the more ornate and highly decorative French mantel clocks of the same period. Sometimes referred to as ‘library clocks’ or ‘crystal regulators’, the name ‘four-glass’ is perhaps more descriptive and accurate. In some respects these clocks are very similar in design to carriage clocks, only they are certainly not portable and were never intended to be so. The whole design of the four-glass clock invites inspection on a grand scale! These cases could easily be fitted with a standard French movement, and from the casemaker’s point of view it was a relatively easy task to make some of the designs slightly different and so offer customers a varied selection to choose from.
A delight to behold! Height: 9.5 inches.
