A Very Impressive 19th Century French  Ormolu Bronze Cartel Wall Clock after a model by Jacques Caffieri. A French gilt-bronze cartel clock  In the Louis XV style, Circa 1880 Surmounted by a sunburst, with Cupid in a chariot with doves, the shaped case flanked by scrolling foliage, centered by a circular bronze dial with enamel numbers , the twin-train movement with countwheel strike, above the waisted lower part with pierced front panel and a group of Cupid and Psyche above an acanthus finial
 
Please reference Ebay item # 290583624279  which shows the exact clock as mine but having a bearded Man below instead of my Cupid and Psyche and approx 12" taller in size and it's for sale for only 44 thousand dollars. Also looking at Google images under Cartel Clock after Jacques Caffieri you may see my exact clock at Christies that sold for approx 23 thousand dollars. My clock however is far below 1/2 the price it should bring on the Market. It is in Beautiful condition and is working perfectly. This French clock has a WONDERFUL looking Angel on top sitting in a Chariot being pulled by 2 Doves please see plate 2 , 3 &4 and below another Angel Draping a  Sleeping Nude Woman (Pschye) with a throw (plate 5). The  44 thousand dollar clock on Ebay has a bearded Man at its bottom. My Cartel Clock is a Truly  Magnificent French Clock that is both Romantic, and Beautiful to see with its fabulous gilded casting of the case.(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LARGER PICTURES SHOWING THE CHERUB WITH DOVES IN PLATES 2 & 4 WERE TAKEN FROM THE CHRISTIES PICTURES AND SHOW THE GILDING ON THE SUNBURST TO BE IN ONLY FAIR CONDITION WHEN  THE GILDING ON MY CLOCK IS IN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH NO PATINA WEARING OFF ON THE SUNBURSTS)
    At the very top you see the angel  having a great expression on his face plus the Doves and right behind this trio you have what appears to be the rays of the Sun rising up. At the very bottom you again see an angel draping a garment over a beautiful and sleeping (Pschye).
 On the sides of this timepiece are  leaves coming out and trailing up and down the sides of the Case. Making for one of the most attractive French clocks I have had in some time.The dial on this clock is also magnificent, it has a Convex Glass covering the dial while the face has embossed flowers all around and each of the Clocks numerals are hand painted porcelain plaques having black enamel on a white ground........................
     As a rule with Putti or Angels or Cherubs they most always have generic faces to them, but not here, in this work of Sculptured Bronze The faces of the Cherubs show expressions which to me sets this clock far apart from the many others I have come in contact with and owned. So it is a given that this beauty is a very high quality Cartel Clock which dates to the 1880s. It is entirely Gilt Bronze. The movement is a high quality French movement. This Timepiece is one that you will enjoy living with and showing off. The movement the twin-train movement with countwheel strike
 tells one the time of day, and needs not to be wound for 7 to 8 days. This is a stunning and visually super attractive Wall clock that will bring you many years of enjoyment, functionality, and bring continued Beauty to your Home.
  Examine the pictures closely.  The clock is in working condition and runs 8 days with a strike on the bell for the hours and half hours. I purchased this just recently out of a Collectors clock collection along with 6 other French Beauties. The clocks are all top shelf and  really excellent examples most are  French first Empire early 19th Century. Please see my other listings to view the other clocks from this collection, You will be sorry if you don't visit.I have priced these clocks at very low prices and in the case of this Cartel Clock it is priced at 1/2 of what it has already sold for.
