This 1890 mantel clock is a Rococo Revival piece made in Paris from brass, ormolu, tortoiseshell, and enamel in gilt and red. The ornate case displays Boulle inlay with scrolling foliate designs on red tortoiseshell, accompanied by gilt bronze mounts, a cast gilded finial on top, and scrolling bracket feet at the base. The dial features twelve vitreous enamelled cartouches with blue Roman numerals, polished blued steel hands, and a cast brass decorative bezel, while a sunburst pendulum hangs visible behind the lower glass panel. The clock measures 31 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 10 cm deep. It suits placement on a mantelpiece in a living room, drawing room, or study, adding a decorative French Chateau accent to interior surfaces.

FAQs

A Boulle clock is an ornate timepiece decorated with a specialized marquetry technique created by inlaying brass and tortoiseshell onto a wooden case, popularized in 17th-century France by craftsman Andre-Charles Boulle.

Boulle clocks are traditionally constructed using a timber body clad in tortoiseshell and engraved brass marquetry, adorned with cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and enamel or porcelain dial elements.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut brass marquetry, mercury-gilded ormolu mounts with crisp hand-chasing, individual enamel cartouche numbers on the dial, and period pendulum movements stamped by Parisian horologists.

Position the clock as a central focal point on a marble fireplace mantelpiece, atop a dark mahogany sideboard, or within a formal library setting to contrast against clean architectural lines.

Keep the clock in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources to prevent the tortoiseshell from shrinking or the brass inlay from lifting, and clean metal elements gently with a dry lint-free cloth.
