Description

Early 1900's French Boulle Clock. A true masterpiece of craftsmanship, this exquisite timepiece is a symphony of chiselled and gilded bronze, adorned with the richness of imitation tortoise shell and embellished with intricate brass inlays. As you look at it, you will be mesmerised by the fusion of these elements, which come together in harmonious perfection.

The clock stands regally on a shelf, anchored to the wall, commanding attention with its presence. Its Louis XV style exudes an air of refined elegance, recalling an era when art and beauty were held in high esteem. Marked "THURET PARIS", testimony to its prestigious origin, it carries with it a legacy of excellence that spans the centuries.
The case, enveloped in the splendour of imitation tortoiseshell, is embraced by chiselled bronze and brass ornaments. Each detail meticulously carved, a testament to the skilled hands that fashioned it. The wooden case and shelf, adorned with gilded bronze applications featuring delicate plant motifs and elegant leaf volutes, evoke a sense of nature's grace, bringing a touch of the outdoors into your home.
As you admire The dial itself, a gilt-bronze work of art, features Roman numerals on porcelain-enamelled metal plates. The level of craftsmanship is unmatched, a true tribute to the dedication and precision of the craftsmen who brought this stunning creation to life.
But what truly captures the heart is the crowning glory of the clock – a brass angel with a trumpet and pendulum. A celestial figure adorning the timepiece, it adds an ethereal touch, as if the clock itself were calling out to the heavens. This celestial guardian stands watch, as if protecting time itself, an emblem of eternity and the passage of moments.
The early 19th-century provenance of this clock only adds to its allure, carrying within it a wealth of history and stories from generations past. With every tick and tock, it weaves together the narratives of those who once cherished its presence.
Placing this antique clock in your stately lounge will elevate the ambiance, transforming it into a salon of grandeur and sophistication. Its beauty is blinding, captivating the eyes and the soul, leaving you enchanted by its allure. It's not merely a time-telling device but a masterpiece of art, an embodiment of the beauty that transcends time and remains eternal.

Cancellations and Returns

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).

To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.

If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.

The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
