Overview

A fine and impressive 19th century French ormolu and white marble clock garniture of exceptional decorative quality. The central mantel clock with reclining cherub figures, accompanying pair of branch candelabra with standing cherub supports, and conforming white marble bases combine to create a balanced and highly decorative three-piece ensemble of statement-level quality.

Key Features

  • 19th century French - complete three-piece clock garniture
  • Central mantel clock surmounted by two reclining cherub figures in rich gilt bronze
  • Ornate ormolu surround with stepped white marble base
  • Applied floral swags and classical ornamentation throughout
  • Matching pair of branch ormolu candelabra with standing cherub supports

  • Conforming white marble bases with gilt bronze mounts across all three pieces
  • Exceptional depth, definition, and surface detail to all castings

Craftsmanship & Detail

The central mantel clock is surmounted by two beautifully cast reclining cherub figures, executed in rich gilt bronze with excellent depth, definition, and surface detail - set within an ornate ormolu surround mounted on a stepped white marble base with applied floral swags and classical ornamentation. Each accompanying candelabrum is supported by a standing cherub figure holding naturalistic foliate candle arms, resting on a conforming white marble base with gilt bronze mounts. The consistency of casting quality, marble, and decorative vocabulary across all three pieces creates an ensemble of complete harmony and considerable decorative presence — ideal for display on a mantelpiece, console table, or within any formal interior.
