Antique French Chinoiserie Ormolu and Porcelain Three-Piece Clock Graniture

About the Item

A very fine antique French chinoiserie, doré bronze, and Imari porcelain three-piece clock graniture. The porcelain is marvelously hand-painted with intricately designed flowers, peaches, birds, and clouds. With a magnificent color scheme which includes orange, white, blue, and 24-karat gilt decoration between and around all the flowers and wildlife. The foo dog, vines and leaves, and dragons could be found throughout the magnificently cast and hand-chased ormolu candlesticks, base and handles. Each portion of the ormolu was cast in France while the porcelain was made in Japan and exported to France to be mounted onto the ormolu. The center piece clock is 27.5 in. in height, 15 in. in width, and 9 in. in diameter. The pair of original candelabras are 28.5 in. in height with a 9 in. base.

  • A Very Large Rare Meissen Porcelain 3 Piece Clock & Candelabra Garniture Set
    By Meissen Porcelain
    Located in New York, NY
    A Very Large and Rare German Ormolu Mounted Meissen Porcelain Three Piece Clock & Candelabra Garniture Set. This impressive set consists of three pieces: a center clock and two candelabras, each adorned with the most intricate and delicate details that have been executed to perfection. Each three armed candelabra is remarkably elaborate with foliate arms that are embellished with gilt-covered beautifully twisted branches and curling leaves on an ornate botanically-inspired base. Embraced by the arms of the candelabras are two 18th Century Meissen Porcelain figures of musical lovers, dressed in brightly detailed traditional clothes. The round clock face, with roman numerals, a white base, and ornate hands is surrounded by a flourish of gorgeous gilt foliage, exuding an air of elegance and refinement. Perched atop the clock is a stunning Meissen Porcelain figurine of a beautiful woman posed in mid-movement, her dress aflutter, and baring her leg as she gazes up at her left hand which is holding a bunch of grapes, while also grasping a wine goblet in her lowered right hand, representing the festivities of the moment. Surrounding the clock and extending down both sides the gilt foliate leads the eye to two cherubs each admiring tiny vases of exquisitely detailed flowers. Below the cherubs, on either side, are four white ceramic pillars...
