This exceptional 19th-century French Louis XVI–style clock garniture is a coordinated three-piece set consisting of one mantel clock and two matching two-arm candelabras. Crafted from gilded bronze, white marble, crystal, and enamel, the ensemble reflects the refined symmetry and decorative elegance of French neoclassical design.
The central mantel clock features a finely cast bronze frame decorated with floral motifs, scrolling ornamentation, and architectural detailing. Clear crystal panels surround the case, including the sides and hinged rear door, allowing the movement to remain visible while adding an unusual sense of depth and lightness.
The clock is supported by a white marble base embellished with gilt-bronze mounts, creating a refined contrast between the warm gold tones, bright marble, and transparent crystal.
The enamel dial is finished with Arabic numerals and dark hands, while the mechanical movement provides traditional 8-day operation and strikes on both the half hour and full hour.
The two matching candelabras are designed as graceful rose branches, each with two candle arms and sculptural rosebud-style candle holders. Their coordinating white marble bases and gilt-bronze decoration create a harmonious symmetrical display alongside the clock.
