The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A cartel clock is a wall-mounted timepiece housed in a cartouche-shaped frame, originating in eighteenth-century France. The Louis XVI style incorporates Neoclassical design elements such as laurel garlands, urns, ribbon ties, and symmetrical architectural proportions.

Traditional French cartel clocks were primarily crafted from cast bronze that was gilded using fire-gilding techniques (ormolu). Dials were typically crafted from white enamel with painted Roman and Arabic numerals, supported by brass clockwork movements.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased bronze detailing, original gilding showing natural oxidisation or wear in crevices, and heavy cast metal housing. Examining the movement for maker stamps, countwheels, and silk-suspension systems also assists in verifying age.

Mount the clock as a central feature above a mantelpiece, console table, or within a gallery wall alongside classical prints. Balancing the warm metallic finish with neutral wall tones or dark timber furniture creates a balanced contrast.

Dust the gilt bronze surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive polishes which strip delicate gilding. Mechanical clockwork movements require periodic servicing by a professional horologist.
