French Art Deco Ormolu "Bronze Dorée" Cartel Sunburst Wall Clock, Circa 1915

About the Item

French Art Deco Ormolu "Bronze Dorée" Cartel Sunburst Wall Clock, Circa 1915. Since the Louis XIV period the use of Bronze Dorée has been synonymous of high quality and has always been used at important decorative levels. We have seen impressive castle rooms decorated with Bronze Dorée furniture, pictures frames, sculptures and also clocks of different shapes and forms. During the mid 19th Century and throughout the first half of the 20th Century, French artists and artisans continued to produce and re-produce paintings, furniture and works of art inspired by old styles. Sometimes combining the objects with a more modern touch in vogue at the time of the execution, but maintaining the rigorous quality that the public demanded. This wall clock or Cartel is a classic example. By using the combination of "Bronze Dorée" material common from the Louis XIV period and later, with a more modern "Sunburst" design which was typical of the late 19th Century and through the Art Deco period, the artist achieved to create this high quality and spectacular looking Cartel clock.
