About the Item

Cartel with its base in Boulle marquetry and gilt bronze. The gilded bronze in moving foliage and scrolls of flowers are of rocaille style. The circular frame in finely chiseled bronze with 12 enamelled cartouches indicating the hours in Roman numerals and the minutes are engraved in the bronze in Arabic numerals. The center of the frame is decorated with vegetal motifs and shells. It rests on four small arched feet. Boulle marquetry invented under Louis XIV (17th century). Although its technique appeared as early as the 16th century, it owes its name to André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732), master cabinetmaker at the court of the King. It is a marquetry that consists in placing materials such as tortoise shell, copper, brass, mother of pearl, inside wood. More specifically, Boulle marquetry is a veneer of tortoiseshell combined with metal, most often copper or brass.
