About the Item

Elegant Rocaille gilt-bronze mantel garniture, finely chased and gilded with fire-gilt, crafted in France in the 19th century. The set comprises a central clock and a pair of matching candelabra, forming a spectacular decorative ensemble. The clock, a true masterpiece of ornamentation, displays a sumptuous décor of finely sculpted acanthus leaves, framing an enameled porcelain dial with Roman numerals. The composition is crowned by a large rocaille shell, an emblematic motif of the Louis XV style, magnificently reinterpreted by 19th-century artisans. The case rests on two powerful scrolls, surmounted by delicately modeled winged putti facing each other—symbols of innocence and classical allegories. The gilding, remarkably well preserved, highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of French bronze-makers of the period. The candelabra, in perfect harmony with the clock, each feature six scrolling light arms in the form of sinuous branches, supported by graceful putti and resting on richly sculpted rocaille bases. Their balance between fantasy and technical mastery perfectly illustrates the 19th century’s fascination with reviving 18th-century styles, while catering to the bourgeois and aristocratic taste for luxurious, animated interiors. This ensemble, both decorative and historical, is rare for its impressive proportions, refinement, and exceptional condition, making it an ideal choice for creating a grandiose display on a mantel, a commode, or a console. The mechanical movement of the clock is in perfect working order. Dimensions of the clock: Height : 69 cm Width : 71 cm Depth : 23 cm Dimensions of candelabras : Height : 69 cm Diameter: 36 cm
