A Napoleon III period clock set. This three piece garniture, a clock and two candelabra, is gilded bronze mounted onto white marble. The dark blue globe of the clock, decorated with gilt stars, houses the original movement, which has been thoroughly cleaned and overhauled. This is held aloft by finely modeled cherubs above a swaged marble drum, matching cherubs supporting the floral candle holders on either side.
French, C.1860.
