The clock drum, with hand painted dial and protective glass door features Arabic numerals separated by floral garlands. Two Carrara marble columns decorated with ormolu engine turned collars and surmounted by foliage finials mount the base whilst supporting the richly decorated clock drum with swags of ormolu foliage, surmounted by a double handled Carrara marble urn with further foliage finial. The whole with exposed floral basket pendulum. The clock is flanked by a pair of two branch candelabra.

The pair raised on a square Carrara marble bases, raised on four ormolu bun feet. Each with circular ormolu collars issuing Carrara marble bodies and supporting two chiselled candle branches with candle holder and drip pan; the pair surmounted by further marble body and removable candle snuffers in the form of foliage finials. The candle snuffers can be used to extinguish the lit candles and are rare to still be a part of the garniture set 120 years later.

The original twin train movement is present featuring an eight day movement which is regulated by a countwheel, and strikes the hours and half hours on a bell. The bell, pendulum and winding key are present. The mechanism is stamped by one of the most prolific 19th century clockmakers, Samuel Marti, 1900 winning a medal of honour for that particular model of mechanism. 46.5 cm high x 25.5 cm wide. 32 cm high x 16.5 cm wide.

Overall, the garniture is in excellent condition, with no damage or repairs. The clock is in good working condition and retains an excellent, rich colour to the ormolu. The mechanism has recently been cleaned and serviced.

Please note, whilst the clock currently works, during transport, all clocks are moved around a lot, and therefore, they may require setting up upon receiving them as well as the possibility of requiring professional assistance or a service as they can get'stuck'. There is no guarantee that the clock will work smoothly after it has been transported.
