Large Antique Cartel Wall Clock

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very decorative and impressive, original antique French cartel wall clock. It is beautifully modelled in gilded brass, in the Louis XVI style. A symmetric keyhole shape decorated with floral swags and acanthus leaves. It features a large enamel on copper dial, off-white with blued steel hands and an egg-and-dart bezel. To the top of the clock is a large elaborate urn.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just a small chip next to the left hand winding hole. There is a hole in the rear of the urn where a hanging loop had been attached. The original hanging loop is still present below. The original glass has some slight scratches.

Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
