This impressive three-piece marble and bronze clock garniture set is a commanding example of classical decorative arts, combining sculptural presence with fine horological craftsmanship. Centered by a substantial mantel clock, the set is crowned with a dramatic eagle figural finial, a powerful symbol of strength, authority, and vigilance, often associated with grand European interiors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The clock features a finely detailed gilt bronze dial surround with clear Arabic numerals and is signed and dated on the back of the movement, underscoring its authenticity and quality. The movement is accessed with the original winding key, allowing the clock to remain fully functional as well as decorative. The case is constructed of richly veined polished marble, accented with classical bronze mounts and architectural moldings that enhance its stately form.
Flanking the clock are a matching pair of marble and bronze garnitures, each shaped as urn-form vases with scrolling handles and gilt bronze details. Their proportions and ornamentation balance the central clock perfectly, creating a cohesive and visually striking mantel or console display.
