About the Item

A Large and Exceptional Napoleon III Period Gilt-Bronze and Sèvres Style Porcelain Three-Piece Clock Garniture. By Denière, Paris. Comprising a mantle clock and pair of eight-light candelabra. The clock modelled as a vase atop a pedestal base with seated cherubs. The baluster-shaped vase of cobalt-blue ground porcelain with gilt-embossed decoration framing a finely painted reserve to the neck depicting a harbour scene. The lid is modelled with a cherub emblematic of dawn and the neck is flanked by rose-entwined handles. The whole is lavishly enriched with superb gilt-bronze detailing of floral garlands. The porcelain dial is exquisitely painted in enamels with foliate swags and Arabic numerals. The dial has pierced and engraved gilt hands and is signed ‘Denière FT de Bronzes A Paris’. The clock movement with twin going barrels and strike on bell. The clock movement is stamped ‘DENIÈRE A PARIS 3048’. The candelabra are modelled en suite as vases issuing eight-light candelabrums. Each vase is decorated in enamels of white, gold and cobalt blue and is fronted by a reserve finely painted with harbour scenes. The candelabra stand on gilt-bronze pedestal bases. The dial signed ‘Denière FT de Bronzes A Paris’. The clock movement is stamped ‘DENIÈRE A PARIS 3048’. The porcelain with interlaced ‘L’ marks. France, Circa 1870. This clock garniture is unusually large in scale and the porcelain is superbly enamelled and painted. It is the work of the esteemed bronze maker Denière who would have been responsible for designing the gilt-bronze mounts to fit around the porcelain. The practice of mounting porcelain in gilt-bronze also dates to the late 18th century when bronze makers such as Pierre Gouthière sought to further enrich Sèvres porcelain by wrapping it in gilt-bronze mounts. Renowned for the quality of its production, Denière et fils exhibited at many of the great exhibitions of the period, including the London International Exhibition of 1862 where they exhibited a flower stand of grand proportions, illustrated in J. B Waring, Masterpieces of Industrial Art & Sculpture, 1863, and a mantel garniture at the 1867 Paris Exhibition Universelle, purchased by Napoleon III. Two mid-19th century clocks by Denière are in the Royal Collection Trust.

Napoleon III Period Gilt Bronze and Sèvres Style Porcelain Mantel Clock

By Miroy Frères

Located in London, GB

This sophisticated gilt bronze mantel clock is an elegant piece of mid-19th century design, beautifully cast and gilded and set with two delicate Sèvres style porcelain panels. The clock case's finest feature is the charmingly naturalistic scene at its top, showing a full-length sculpture of a female figure sitting with a basket and two doves. They are displayed on a naturalistic, oval-shaped plinth, which is decorated all around its exterior with painstakingly intricate foliate motifs. Either side of the plinth there are two Sevres style porcelain panels, each of which shows a winged putto. One putto is shown writing, while the other is shown holding a dove. Each is set inside a turquoise blue border decorated with delicate gilt scrolls. In the centre of the plinth sits the clock dial, which is enamelled and contains Roman numerals. It is signed 'Prize Medal 1851 / Miroy Fres Brevetes / Paris' after the clock's maker, Miroy Freres...
