A beautiful and early antique French cartel wall clock. It is well made of gilded brass in a bold Baroque style. The large enamel dial has a brass centre, original fretted blued steel hands and convex glass. I t is signed for the clockmaker / retailer 'Maillard'. Above the dial is a Baroque broken arch pediment and to the sides are stylised columns. The clock is decorated with mythical creatures and stylised foliage.
It is the large plate version of the 'Pendule De Paris' movement and is the earlier version having an outside bell hammer stop spring.
