Large Antique French Gilt Bronze Cartel Wall Clock

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large and stunning antique French gilt bronze cartel wall clock. Formed of heavy, bold scroll work and featuring crowned dragons to each side with further creatures to the top. The scroll work is backed with red fabric to lighten the design. A well made and heavy clock in finely finished gilded bronze.

The large dial is also gilt bronze with 12 individual enamel cartouches and its original beautifully cut and blued steel hands. The bezel is fitted with convex glass.

The large square plated French movement is of high quality and 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 below to hear the bell and watch the clock running.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight wear and discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition with only very slight marks to the cartouches. The original glass has some very slight scratches. We have replaced the red fabric with fresh.

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

About us  - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in  France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in  original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have  developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul  the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they  will run trouble free. 

Duty and Taxes - Most countries do not charge import duty on antiques. Some countries charge sales tax. For USA this will be collected by ebay. For UK VAT is included in the price and we pay that for you. For Australia there is sales tax, it will be collected by the courier. All other countries please check your customs website for details. Sadly we have no control over your countries tax regime!

International Shipping is no problem - fully insured

  We use a premium courier such as UPS, DHL etc or a dedicated/specialist  antiques courier.
