About the Item

Antique marble and gilt bronze clock and barometer set English, 19th Century Height 49cm, width 20cm, depth 12cm This exquisite set of gilt bronze and marble clock and barometer from the esteemed Barwise & Sons, London, is a pairing seldom encountered, especially when accompanied by such remarkable quality and artistry. The individual pieces, each resonating the harmonious elegance of a lyre through their design, are set within pristine white marble cases, enhancing the overall refinement of the set. They dazzle with starburst crowns, an emblem of radiant beauty resting atop the intricately adorned leaf work – an homage to natural grace. Nestled within the decadent diamantine bezels are the enamelled dials, epitomising delicate artistry and revealing the exquisite engineering that underpins their functionality. The radiant starburst motif from the crowns is echoed on the background of these dials, infusing the set with a vibrant, jubilant opulence. The oval bases of the pieces are adorned with lavish gilt foliage decorations, with a floral frieze in gilt accentuating the lower section. The ensemble is mounted on four expansive toupie feet. The barometer dial proudly carries the inscription 'Exd by / Barwise / 46 St James St / London SW', attesting to the noble heritage of the set. The Barwise lineage, a prominent horological dynasty founded by John Barwise in London in 1780, became the purveyor of high-end watches and clocks to the British elite by the 1820s. Surpassing the usual standard of similar items, this set stands as a testament to superior quality and distinctive English craftsmanship. Combining aesthetic allure and functional mastery, this clock and barometer set is a rare gem in any collection.

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...
