Wall Clock 18th Century Boulle
About the Item
This magnificent cantilever clock was made in France in the 18th century during the reign of Louis XV. The clock exhibits many decorative elements and features from the reign of Louis XV's predecessor, when Boulle's works were popular.Andre-Charles Boulle was one of France’s leading cabinetmakers, whose fashion of inlaying, called boulle, or buhl, work, swept Europe and was heavily imitated during the 18th and 19th centuries. Multitalented, Boulle practiced as an architect, worked in bronze and mosaic, and designed elaborate monograms. oulle’s style is characterized by elaborate adornment with brass (occasionally engraved) and tortoiseshell marquetry. Although the technique of marquetry was originally used by 16th-century Italian craftsmen, Boulle developed it to a fine art. He incorporated exotic woods from India and South America. His personal collection of master drawings, prints, and paintings, from which he extracted much of his inspiration, included works by the 15th–16th-century Italian artist Raphael, the 17th-century Flemish artist Rubens, and the 17th-century Italian engraver Stefano della Bella.The clock has a characteristic casing with a waist cut, and at the top there is a large dial made of individual enameled cartridges. At the top of the clock we have the figure of a cherub holding spears.
