Ormolu and Patinated Bronze Mounted Clock Set by Denière
About the Item
This clock set contains a mantel clock and a pair of candelabra. The central mantel clock is formed of a rectangular gilt bronze mounted grey marble base. Raised on four gilt bronze feet, the base is set to the front with an enamel dial, the hours in Arabic numerals and the dial signed for the maker, ‘Denière / Ft de Bronzes / Paris’. The dial is encompassed by a gilt bronze rim and bordered to the top by a gilt bronze foliate mount. The remainder of the marble base is mounted with gilt bronze elements throughout, including running dog motif friezes and a large torch-and-arrows insignia.
The base is surmounted by a large patinated bronze sculptural group of a satyr and female figure, both of whom are engaged in Bacchic revelry. This bronze is signed ‘Clodion’, for Claude Michel, and is thus likely after an original marble by the 18th century French sculptor.
The pair of candelabra is similarly decorated, each one raised by a gilt bronze mounted grey marble base. The stem of each candelabrum is in the guise of a patinated bronze female figure who holds a gilt bronze staff, from this staff spring five gilt bronze branches, each one terminating in an individual candleholder.
Multiple gilt bronze mounts are stamped ‘D’, for Denière.

Jean-François Deninger, called Denière, was one of the most illustrious bronziers of the first half of the 19th century. Appointed Envoy in Constantinople around 1796, the bronzier Denière entered into partnership with François Mathelin in 1797. They founded a prosperous operation and their atelier had over 200 workers during the Empire period - a number that subsequently doubled during the reign of Louis-Philippe. Fournisseur to the duchesse de Berry and Louis-Philippe, Denière also worked for the duke of Hamilton, Ferdinand VII of Spain, William II of Hesse, William II of Holland, Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and other heads of state.

These majestic candle holders are marked on the sides 'L.V.E. ROBERT' (Louis Valentin Elias Robert) and on the back they read 'AD x'. The black marble clock comes with a circular dial face with gilt Roman numerals and this clock has a well working movement. The movement is stamped 'DENIERE / A PARIS' and '2165'.
