Antique French Gilt Bronze Rococo Cartel Wall Clock ~ French - Circa 1870 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A beautiful antique French Rococo cartel wall clock, the movement by Vincenti et Cie and retailed in Paris. Beautifully modelled asymmetric case of 'C' scrolls, profusely decorated with garlands of flowers. A glimpse of the pendulum can be seen swinging through the scrolls and flowers.

The large dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blued steel hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Vincenti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video to hear the bell and watch the clock running.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. There is a slight loss to the case behind the bezel around the eleven o'clock position. The dial is also excellent with just some slight chipping around the brocot shaft above the twelve o'clock. There is no cover over the rear of the movement, however the clock sits against the wall.
