magnificent complete mantel clock set from the late 19th century (napoleon iii/third republic period), in the louis xvi style.

this exquisitely crafted parisian set includes a portico clock and a pair of matching candlesticks.

• materials: structure with white marble (or alabaster) columns and chiseled bronze ornaments.

• superb original pendulum: a rare and exquisitely crafted model in the shape of a floral basket suspended by a ribbon bow, typical of the neoclassical style.

• mechanism: parisian movement with its original bell/strike present on the back.
