REGENCE STYLE "BOULLE" MARQUET CARTEL, 19th century Shell, enamel, brass and gilt bronze cartel from the late 17th or early 18th century, topped by a figure representing time, universal (seated on its sphere) and cutting the thread of life with its scythe, but in the amiable guise of a putto. The right-hand body develops below this tortoise-shell veneered figure, through which brass foliate scrolls run in the first part. Bronze baguettes and chased frieze ornaments contrast with the dark aspect of the tortoiseshell and enhance the composition of the cartel, enriched by a fine gilded dial featuring a male bust against a trellis or canopy background, and horns of plenty from which foliate scrolls spring. The large hand traces out the minutes one by one, all arranged in Roman numerals around the circumference of the dial. Below the dial is a female figure holding a lamp, accompanied by a crane holding an open book bearing the text "PREHEN NEDAM DE TE". Behind this figure on the glass door opening onto the movement, the splendid "Boulle" marquetry can be seen through the glass. The cartel rests on four gilded bronze feet with floral motifs. The bracket is decorated with two angel heads and ormolu scrolls highlighting the edges. The base of the console is adorned with acanthus leaves surmounting trellises. Provenance: private collection of the family of Baron André Rubillon du Lattay. Inscribed "Martinot Paris". Size: 118 x 40 x 16 cm Used condition, traces of restoration, accidents, XXth century movement to be reviewed.
