Sèvres Style Porcelain and Gilt Bronze Three-Piece Clock Set

About the Item

This exquisite clock set is designed in an elegant 18th-Century Rococo manner, in the style of Sèvres porcelain wares. Rococo is characterised by its use of pastel colours, graceful natural forms and courtly elegance. The mantel clock case is surmounted by a gilt bronze (ormolu) urn, which is capped by a ‘bleu celeste’ porcelain lid. Four gilt bronze pinecone finials cap the corners of the clock case. The gilt bronze case features fluted pilasters on its corners, which are draped with garlands. Mounted onto the side panels of the case are gilt bronze classical masks and floral motifs. The circular porcelain dial is painted in a ‘bleu celeste’ colour and features a floral wreath centre which is encircled by Roman Numerals. Beneath the dial is an inset porcelain plaque, which features a pair of amorous figures engaged in a courting dance. The clock case stands on four gilt bronze scrolled legs, on a shaped base which is decorated in a similar manner to the case. This base is set on gilt bronze turnip and foliate feet. The clock is accompanied by a pair of similarly ornamented candelabra. Measures: Clock Height 49cm, width 24cm, depth 17cm Candelabra Height 49cm, width 16cm, depth 20cm.

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...
