Stunning Louis XVI Cartel Clock

by Vincenti

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A lovely decorative, original antique French cartel wall clock. It is in the style of Louis XVI and is beautifully modelled in gilded brass. It is modelled as an acanthus wreath in which the dial is placed with a bow above. The top of the case has a handled urn with a floral finial. A bunch of acanthus leaves hang down from the base of the clock. The dial is a beautiful convex enamel dial with black lettering and separate minute ring and is complete with the original fretted gilt brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is by Vincenti et Cie and has the maker's Medaille D' Argent 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 original. 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 with a bright and clean finish, some slight wear and very minor tarnish / discolouration in places. Dial is also in excellent condition with just a slight nibble to the left hand winding hole. There are some small and light scratches on the original glass. This is a stunning clock ready to grace your home, lots of pictures below.
