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...

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...

A substantial and highly decorative French mantel clock dating to the late 19th century, circa 1890, fitted with a mechanical movement by the renowned French maker Japy Frères. The imposing architectural case is richly modelled in the Baroque Revival taste, with elaborate scrolling foliage, floral ornament, pierced decorative sections and an impressive classical female mask forming the upper crest. The lower section is centred by a heraldic shield surrounded by elaborate scrolling ornament. The case is made from a gilt copper-alloy metal, most likely bronze or brass. The original gilded surface has considerably mellowed with age, leaving a warm darker bronze-gold tone and attractive natural patina throughout. The exact alloy has not been analytically tested. The circular dial combines a decorative metal centre with Roman numeral hour markers and retains its antique character. Both the original front glass and the glazed rear door are present. The French two-train movement bears the Japy Frères medallion. Japy Frères was one of the most important French manufacturers of clock movements during the 19th century. The clock was tested and is currently running. The original pendulum is included; no winding key is supplied. Details: Dimensions: Height 50 cm (19.7 in.); Width 28 cm (11.0 in.); Depth 14 cm (5.5 in.) Weight - 7.5kg Condition: Very good antique condition overall. The case shows natural age-related patina, oxidation and considerable wear/loss to the original gilded surface, giving the metal its present darker bronze-gold appearance. No significant structural damage to the case has been observed. Original front and rear glass are preserved. The clock was tested and is running at the time of listing. Original pendulum included; winding key not included. As with any antique mechanical clock...
