French Monumental Walnut Cartel Clock and Barometer Set

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of this exquisite French cartel clock and barometer set. Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, each piece is a striking addition to any interior space.

Housed within breathtaking hand-carved walnut cases, each piece features intricate and high-relief carvings throughout. Classical beauties flank the sides of each case, carved in high relief, adding a touch of ethereal grace. Above, carvings of birds, urns, and flower baskets evoke the beauty of the natural world. Below, cherubic faces adorn the base of each case, their angelic visages imbuing the set with a sense of wonder. Cascading swags and garlands further enhance the case’s regal charm, adding depth and dimension to the design. Rococo shells and scrollwork meander throughout the case, their graceful curves and intricate detailing adding further grandeur.

The clock commands attention with a repoussé brass dial adorned with majestic blue Roman numerals upon white porcelain cartouches. An 8-day movement powers the clock, which sounds a tuned gong stroke every hour and half hour. In complement to the clock, the barometer’s skeletonized brass dial center offers a glimpse into the inner workings of atmospheric measurement.

With their exquisite details and timeless allure, this ensemble is sure to invite admiration and awe with every glance.

This set bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
