About the Item

Boulle Table Clock, with red background and brass inlays, brass dial with white enamel cartouches and black Roman numerals, crowned with rocailles and pendulum movement. Ø 31.5 cm Ø 15 cm h 58 cm A Boulle clock is a type of decorative clock characterized by elaborate inlays and ornaments. Boulle refers to the intricate marquetry technique named after the French cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) who popularized the style during the reign of Louis XIV. Boulle clocks were typically made in France during the 18th and 19th centuries and are known for their ornate design elements. The clocks feature intricate designs created by inlaying brass, tortoiseshell or other decorative materials onto a wooden surface. Inlaid patterns often include geometric shapes, floral motifs, and elaborate scrollwork, creating a luxurious and opulent look. Boulle watches were highly prized during their time and were considered luxury items, often displayed in the homes of royalty and aristocracy. The watches are sought after by collectors and antique enthusiasts for their exquisite workmanship and historical significance. Today, Boulle watches are considered valuable antiques and are often displayed in museums or private collections. Their intricate design and craftsmanship continue to be admired as a testament to the artistry and skill of the artisans who created them.
