For sale: rare antique Samuel Marti et Cie pendulum clocks from 1889, made primarily of marble (base, side panels, and interior parts). Their elegant appearance is completed by decorative cast-iron/gilt-bronze details. They are clocks made almost entirely of marble, similar to S. Marti et Cie’s luxury models. Materials Case and interior parts: Authentic marble (cold, heavy, with natural veining). Decorative elements: Metal (cast iron/gilt bronze). Movement: Brass gear trains, steel components, and an original movement stamped “Samuel Marti et Cie 1889.” Condition Exterior: Shows the signs of age (patina and light wear), which underscore its authenticity. Functionality: Not tested — requires servicing and maintenance by an expert. Completeness: All original parts are preserved, including the pendulum and marble components. The “1889” marking likely refers to Samuel Marti et Cie’s silver-medal stamp from that year, rather than necessarily the exact manufacture date; the firm was active in Paris during the second half of the 19th century
