About the Item
Antique Alabaster, Ormolu and Silvered Bronze Clock Set in the Neo-Grec Style
French, Late 19th Century
Clock: Height 55cm, width 33cm, depth 16cm
Candelabra: Height 62.5cm, width 19cm, depth 19cm
This unusual clock set combines pale alabaster with both silvered and gilded bronze in a remarkable blend. The central body of the clock is cast from angular alabaster layers, that are applied with gilded and silvered decorative elements, including foliate bands, applied oval portrait panels, and Greek key designs. The clock is surmounted by a decorated kylix cup, which is topped by a sweet cherub. On each side of the flared base is a grotesque, and the clock stands on four paw feet.
Almost identical in design, the two flanking candelabra are centred by amphora-shaped bodies, applied with further oval portrait-masks. A trio of candle sconces are supported by two arms, one of silvered bronze and the other of gilt. The angular supports terminate in hoof feet. Like the clock, the candelabra are also capped with a putti finial.
The colour combinations of the shining metals and the pale mineral on this clock set are particularly pleasing, making it a highly desirable collector’s item.

View AllAntique French Porcelain, Gilt and Silvered Brass Clock Set
Located in London, GB
This wonderful clock set, which is comprised of a mantel clock and pair of flanking vases, is designed in a fanciful French ‘Oriental’ style. The set is crafted from brass which has been silvered, parcel gilt and painted. The clock is also mounted with porcelain plaques which are beautifully painted with colourful depictions of birds and flowers.
The mantel clock is composed of a tall rectangular body with a break arch top which is crowned by a covered twin-handled urn. The urn features a parcel gilt pointed finial on its cover and a silvered body painted with pink cherry blossoms. The urn stands on the arched top of the clock, which is decorated with a sculptural gilt scrollwork band and a gilt foliate border. The arch contains a circular porcelain dial which features a central painting of a pair of birds, encircled by black Roman Numerals within white cartouches. This dial is framed by a gilt beaded bezel. The shoulders of the clock body are mounted with parcel gilt and silvered elephant heads holding ring handles.
Porcelain panels decorate the front and sides of the silvered clock body. These panels are beautifully decorated with paintings of colourful birds, butterflies and cherry blossom trees, set within gilt stiff-leaf frames. The clock body is set on a silvered rectangular base which is edged with a parcel gilt foliate band. The front of the base is mounted with a silvered and parcel gilt lion's head mask and flanking painted porcelain plaques. The clock stands on four parcel gilt silvered feet, which are geometric and scrolled in form.

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...
