FAQs

A cartel clock is an ornamental wall-mounted clock housed in an ornate case, typically developed in France during the Baroque and Rococo periods and continuing through the neoclassical era.

These clocks are traditionally constructed from cast bronze, which is then fire-gilded (ormolu) to create a bright, durable gold finish, often housing enamelled dial faces and brass mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-chased surface details on the bronze, original mercurial gilding or early electroplating with appropriate patination, and hand-painted enamel dials with serial numbers or maker signatures on the movement.

Mount the clock as a focal point on a plain, neutral-toned wall to highlight its metallic texture, pairing it with minimalist furnishings to allow the historical craftsmanship to stand out.

Dust the exterior gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical polishes or water on the gilt surfaces to protect the delicate metallic finish.
