Antique Cloisonne Enamel and Gilt Bronze Clock Set

About the Item

This wonderful cloisonne enamel clock set is an artful piece of design in the neoclassical style: each piece is elaborately applied with turquoise and green enamels, completed in the cloisonne technique. The set is made up of a central mantel clock and a pair of flanking three light candelabra. The central clock has a shaped ormolu base, set with a panel of cloisonne enamel at the front, and laurel garlands and dolphins' heads at either side. The sides of the clock are also mounted with gilt bronze torches and laurel wreaths, and the clock pediment is surmounted by an enamelled vase with a flame finial. The clock pediment is set with a central dial applied with red, blue and turquoise enamels, and the movement bears a stamp for Japy Freres, a prolific clockmaking firm operating in the 19th century. The pair of candelabra are decorated in a similar fashion, and are modelled as two winged putti on a square base holding three enamelled lights on scrolling foliate gilt bronze arms. Measures: Clock height 36cm, width 27cm, depth 14cm Candelabra height 37.5cm, width 21.5cm, depth 9cm.

  • Antique Egyptian Revival Style Marble and Gilt Bronze Clock Set
    Located in London, GB
    This clock set is designed in the Egyptian Revival style, which was in vogue in Europe and America in the 19th century.

  • Antique Marble, Patinated and Gilt Bronze Clock Set by Gervais
    By Ferdinand Gervais
    Located in London, GB
    This three-piece set—composed of a clock and a pair of flanking candelabra—is a truly unique and delightful piece of decorative art. The clock is modelled in the image of an 18th century sedan chair – that is, a covered chair sat in by a member of the social elite, which was carried on poles by two people. This chair-shaped clock case is crafted from gilt bronze (ormolu) and decorated with festoons and a flower finial. At its centre, there is a circular white enamel dial, which features Arabic Numbers, colorful swag paintings, and the manufacturer’s name, 'Fd Gervais / Ft du Bronzes / A Paris'. The lower part of the case is glazed, allowing one to see the clock’s sun-burst pendulum. Like a sedan chair, the clock case is carried by two patinated bronze putti...
