Cartel clock

[1] In Paris, where the ébéniste's wooden contribution to the case and wall bracket, conceived as complements in design, was by degrees overshadowed by gilt-bronze mounts.

wholly gilt-bronze bracket clock cases became most common by ca 1730.

Highly ornate Rococo examples exist, with flowing, asymmetrical and curvilinear designs, the most notable being a series of unified cartel clocks in half a dozen related models, dateable to the 1730s and 40s and attributed (some of them signed) to Charles Cressent.

[2] The style that originated in Paris was used there from ca 1730 through the reign of Louis XV.

[6] With the "Second Rococo" beginning ca 1830, mid-18th century models were revived or imitated.
