Late 18th Century Italian Cartel Clock

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A rare and large gilt-bronze-mounted wood Italian cartel clock from Palermo, circa 1780
The clock was probably commissioned by a prelate or a religious person because on the mechanism is engraved the Latin inscription which refers to Psalm 34 of the Bible:
IVDICA DOMINE NOCENTES ME PSAL 34
“Ipsi David. Judica, Domine, nocentes me; expugna impugnantes me”.
Meaning: Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.

The waisted case is surmounted by an urn over ormolu swags and scrolled feet. The white enamel Roman and Arabic dial report a central alarm setting metal disc.
The mechanism has a twin-train spring-driven movement with square plates united by four vase-shaped pillars pinned through the backplate with engraved foliate border, the going train with pivotted verge escapement and short bob pendulum (the cock decorated with a mascherone), striking the quarters on a single bell and hammer, the latter mounted on a sprung arbor which moves the head to strike a larger bell to sound the hours. Together with the original bracket.
