About the Item
French Art Deco Ormolu (“Bronze Dorée”) Cartel Sunburst Wall Clock
France, circa 1915
A striking Art Deco wall clock executed in gilded bronze (bronze dorée), featuring a sunburst design characteristic of early 20th-century decorative arts. The clock exemplifies the fusion of classical French decorative techniques with the modernist aesthetics of the Art Deco period, creating a visually dynamic and luxurious object.
Historical Context:
Since the Louis XIV period, bronze dorée has been associated with exceptional craftsmanship and high-status decorative arts. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, French artisans employed gilded bronze extensively in furniture, picture frames, sculptures, and clocks for castles and elite interiors. By the mid-19th century and into the first half of the 20th century, French artists continued to reinterpret classical designs, combining traditional materials and techniques with contemporary motifs to appeal to modern tastes while maintaining impeccable quality.
This cartel clock is a classic example of this approach: the enduring luxury of gilded bronze is paired with a modern sunburst motif, popular from the late 19th century and throughout the Art Deco period. The result is a work that embodies both technical mastery and the elegance of early 20th-century French design.
