Large and Stunning Rococo Cartel Wall Clock

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~

A large and stunning original antique French Rococo cartel wall clock. Flamboyant asymmetric design, heavily modelled in brass, is decorated with bold C scrolls and stylised acanthus foliage. Below the dial is a fretted panel with a stylised shell above. The modelling is crisp and well detailed with a bright and clean finish.

The beautiful dial is unusual in having a delicate pale blue enamel background with raised white enamel cartouche lettering. It has a heavy bevelled glass fitted to the bezel and original brass hands.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. It is the larger plate version of the "Pendule De Paris" movement and has the clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. Pendulum is a 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, we have gently cleaned and polished the case to a bright and clean finish, there is some wear and minor discolouration in places. The dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches.

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