Antique cartel clocks French cartel clocks, also known as "pendule de carton," are a type of wall-mounted clock that originated in France in the 18th century. They are characterized by their elongated and narrow shape, and their ornate and decorative style. The French cartel clock first appeared in the early 18th century and became popular in the Rococo style of the mid-18th century. They were manufactured by clockmakers in Paris, who created them with a wide range of designs, from simple to very ornate. Cartel clocks were intended to be hung on a wall and were often used to decorate the interiors of homes, palaces and public buildings. The clock's movement was usually made by one of the clock-making firms of Paris, and was fitted into the cardboard case. The most common clock movement was the French "pendule à balancier," which was an eight-day movement with a swinging pendulum.
