Large Rococo Cartel Wall Clock

by Fritz Marti

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large, bold and stunning original antique French brass Rococo cartel clock, classic Rococo asymmetrical shape with bold and flamboyant 'C' scrolls and acanthus foliage. It is beautifully modelled in gilt brass. The superb large dial is enamel on copper with blue lettering and separate outside minute ring. It is complete with original blued steel hands and convex bevelled glass. The modelling is crisp and well detailed with a bright and clean finish.

The French movement is by Fritz Marti and has the clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. It is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. 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 gilt brass is beautifully clean and bright with just some slight wear, some surface scratches and a little discolouration, just what you would expect with an antique clock. The dial is also in good condition, there are a few light scratches and a little fading to some of the blue lettering.

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

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
