Boulle marquetry *cartel* clock (tortoiseshell and brass), signed "Brulfer à Paris," with matching bracket – Louis XV style, late 19th century
A true showpiece, this sumptuous Louis XV-style *cartel* clock captivates with its elegant, dynamic silhouette and rich ornamentation. Its Boulle marquetry—combining tortoiseshell and brass—offers a refined contrast of materials and colors, enhanced by remarkable, finely chased gilt-bronze mounts.
The decoration is distinguished by a profusion of *rocaille* motifs, split shells, acanthus leaves, and elegant scrolls—hallmarks of the Louis XV decorative repertoire. Its majestic pediment, crowned with a delicate floral ornament, underscores the clock's theatrical and exquisite allure.
The dial, composed of twenty-five enamel cartouches, bears the signature "Brulfer à Paris" at its center. Cut-steel hands add a touch of refinement to the design, while the Brocot suspension mechanism reflects the fine watchmaking craftsmanship of the 19th century.
The matching bracket, featuring painted decoration that mimics tortoiseshell and cut brass, is beautifully embellished with *mascarons* (decorative masks) and gilt-bronze mounts. Together with the clock, it forms a harmonious decorative ensemble that perfectly embodies the historicist taste of the late 19th century.
With its radiance, lavish ornamentation, and commanding presence, this set is an exceptional choice for adorning a classic interior, a formal reception room, or a distinguished residence.
