About the Item

This large and impressive clock garniture set consists of a central clock and a pair of flanking vases. The three pieces are extremely finely decorated with painted cartouches of flying putti, fetes galantes, and floral motifs, on a Sèvres cobalt-blue ground with parcel gilt detailing. The central clock takes the form of a vase, mounted onto a gilt bronze plinth. The plinth is decorated with trumpet-blowing putti with scrolling tails, as well as other floral and foliate motifs. The porcelain clock dial is set into the centre of the body of the vase, and is itself decorated with a putto and a quiver of arrows. It bears the signature for the clock's retailer, 'CAMERDEN & FORSTER / NEW-YORK'. Each of the three pieces is mounted at either side with twin handles in the form of rams' heads (on the central clock) and Classical masks (on the flanking vases). The flanking vases' painted cartouches are inscribed 'A Baret', the signature for the porcelain decorator. The central vase is surmounted by a gilt bronze winged putto holding a bow. The dimensions of the garniture set are as follows: Measures: Clock: Height 66 cm, width 38.5 cm, depth 24 cm Vases: height 42 cm, width 26 cm, depth 23 cm.

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...
