Antique French Rococo Cartel Wall Clock

by Japy Freres.

~ Antique French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully restored and working ~~

A stunning gilt brass Rococo Cartel clock, classic Rococo asymmetrical shape with 'C' scrolls, foliage and floral swags. The dial is enamel on copper with a gilt brass fretted centre, original blued steel hand sand bevelled, convex glass. The modelling is crisp and well detailed with a bright and clean gilded finish. The pendulum can be seen swinging below the dial behind a fretted panel.

The movement is by the famous French maker Japy Freres and has their mark on the movement backplate. It is the more unusual Japy Freres design with rack striking, pin-pallet escapement and a split backplate allowing the barrels to be removed. It is in excellent clean and working condition having been fully stripped, cleaned and tested by our clockmaker. He has also replaced the pendulum. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and half-hours on a bell. You can see the movement running and striking in the video clip below.

Condition of the case is excellent with a bright and clean finish, there is some very minor wear to the original gilding and some minor discolouration in places. The back box is a little distorted but the rear cover fits nicely. The dial is in very good condition with no chips or scratches.

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

Superb Rococo Cartel clock!
