Beautifully crafted from gilded bronze, white marble, and crystal, this 3-piece antique set is a refined example of French neoclassical decorative art.
The central mantel clock features a finely cast bronze frame with elegant floral, scroll, and architectural detailing. Clear crystal panels surround the clock case, including the sides and hinged back door, allowing a view of the movement and adding a rare sense of depth and lightness to the design. The clock rests on a white marble base decorated with gilt bronze mounts, creating a luxurious contrast between gold, white, and clear crystal.
The enamel dial has Arabic numerals and dark hands, giving the clock a classic French appearance. The movement is an 8-day mechanism and strikes on the half hour and full hour. It comes complete with pendulum, bell, and winding key. The movement has been professionally cleaned, checked, and oiled by a clockmaker and is in working condition.
The matching candelabras are beautifully designed as naturalistic rose branches, each with two candle arms and rosebud-style candle holders. They stand on coordinating white marble bases with gilt bronze decoration, making them a harmonious pair alongside the clock.
This set would make a striking focal point on a mantel, console, sideboard, library cabinet, or salon table. It is both a functional antique timepiece and a decorative statement for a classic, French, or European-inspired interior.
