About the Item

Porcelain, champlevé enamel, and gilt-bronze Rococo style three-piece clock set French, Late 19th Century Clock: height 38cm, width 23cm, depth 16cm Vases: height 28cm, width 13cm, depth 10cm This excellent three-piece set consists of a central clock, flanked by a pair of similarly decorated vases, all of which are adorned with porcelain, champlevé enamel, and gilt bronze. Made in late nineteenth century France, it demonstrates an array of superb decorative crafts, combining to create a very fine display suite. The clock consists of a round porcelain dial, painted with winged putti, below which hangs a pendulum. The case features panels made from painted porcelain and glass on each side, decorated with whimsical Rococo genre scenes. To the very top there is a two-handled urn, which is mounted with globe. Trios of gilt finials in the form of flower baskets surmount the case's columns. The vases to either side are very similarly adorned, and the porcelain is signed 'Lefranc.'

Sèvres Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Porcelain Clock Set
By Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres
Located in London, GB
This magnificent five-piece clock set is designed in the style of 18th century porcelain produced by the famous Sèvres Manufactory in France. The set is comprised of a mantel clock, a pair of flanking vases—which double-up as candelabra—and two candlesticks. The five items are crafted from ‘bleu Sèvres’ (navy) colored porcelain, which has been finely parcel gilt, jewelled and painted, and mounted in gilt bronze (ormolu). The mantel clock is composed of a circular porcelain dial, with a central painting of cherubs in flight, encircled by black Roman Numerals within white medallions. This is set within a gilt bronze bezel, crowned by a porcelain lidded urn, fitted with gilt bronze satyr head handles, draped with flower swags, and topped by a gilt bronze grape cluster finial. The clock case is supported on four porcelain columns, which are surmounted by a gilt bronze pinecone-tipped staff, draped with tasselled fabrics. A gilt bronze sculpture of a dancing Maenad (also called a Bacchante)—a female follower of the classical god of wine and ecstasy, Dionysus (or Bacchus). The woman plays the tambourine and is accompanied by a putto. The clock is placed on a shaped gilt bronze base, with two projecting scrolled wings, decorated with gilt bronze acanthus leaves and porcelain patera. The base is mounted with porcelain paintings of classical trophies, and putti within a gilt bronze cartouche frame. It is set on two gilt bronze feet, which are decorated with pointed porcelain covers and gilt bronze rosettes. Depending on personal preference, the vases that accompany the clock can be left as they are or made to serve as candelabra. When vases, they are topped by porcelain domed lids, with gilt bronze grape finials. To turn the items into candelabra, these lids are replaced by gilt bronze covers. Each cover is fitted with six gilt bronze branches—five of which are scrolling and decorated with acanthus leaves, and one extends upwards in a straight line. These terminate in wide drip-pans and urn-shaped capitals. The porcelain vase bodies feature fine paintings of couples courting in garden settings, and they are fitted with gilt bronze cherub head...
