Antique French Gilt Bronze and Malachite Clock Set
About the Item
This wonderful clock set was created in France in circa 1870, in the late 19th century. The set, which consists of a mantel clock and pair of candelabra is crafted from gilt bronze (ormolu) and the green gemstone, malachite.
The mantel clock features an urn-shaped malachite case, which is topped by a gilt bronze sculpture of the Greek goddess Artemis, after a marble work titled ‘Diana of Gabbi’ by Praxiteles. The case is mounted with a circular white enamel dial, which features black Roman and Arabic Numerals, and the maker’s name, ‘Vor Paillard & Romain/ Fants de Bronzes/ Paris’. The dial is displayed behind a glass lens, within a gilt bronze bezel. The malachite case is decorated with gilt bronze classical masks, scrolled acanthus leaves, husk trails and flower garlands. It is flanked by gilt bronze scrolls, and set on a shaped rectangular malachite base. This base is mounted with gilt bronze beading, foliate bands and motifs.
Accompanying the mantel clock are a pair of candelabra, which are of similar design. Each candelabrum features nine gilt bronze candleholders, which spring from gilt bronze urns with animal head handles. These urns are set on malachite bodies and bases, which are decorated with classical gilt bronze motifs.

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...
