Clock, Need information on this clock, I know it Russian.?

Question

Added pictures for your visual aid. As I said I know it is Russian and I know family who make it and I know it contains circles of Malachite at the bottom, if you can tell me anything about this clock, date was made, where it was made, or anything else, would be ideal!

Answer 2

Hi! Help me... How do you know it's Russian? Are there Russian foundry marks on the castings? The writing on the clockface is very unclear but could be Dutch. The casement is in the French style of Louis XVI, ormolu mounted on, what appears to be patinated bronze but it's hard to tell. You say that you know the family that made it. They should be able to tell you more. Can you offer more information? Can you add what the writing says?

******UPDATE

I've been searching and searching because it didn't add up. Then I looked at your previous questions (sorry!) and someone said the name (translation) was 'Sentiabrev."I searched for Sentiabrev and came up with «Sentyabryev» which appears to be a very fine home furnishings and supplier of reproduction objets d'art in Saint-Petersburg... if I understand the translations. But it makes sense. The clock does not look of the period nor do the castings but it is a lovely piece, nonetheless. And being familiar with these pieces and finding nothing remotely similar in my experience or on the internet, this may be your answer. And... their website logo looks similar to the name on your clockface.You must log into their website or I would have checked inventory. I would simply email them for verification. I hope that this helped!
