This magnificent three-piece mantel clock garniture exemplifies the height of French Empire Revival design in the 19th century—where classical grandeur, refined materials, and superb craftsmanship converge to create a work of both artistry and precision. The Clock (Centerpiece) The clock stands as a figural masterpiece rooted in the Empire aesthetic. Its rectilinear case is crafted from deeply polished black Belgian marble (or slate), the dark surface setting a dramatic stage for the richly gilded bronze ornamentation. Above, a patinated bronze figure of a seated muse—likely Clio, the Muse of History, or Urania, the Muse of Astronomy—rests elegantly beside a lyre, symbolizing art, knowledge, and harmony. The frieze features remarkable ormolu embellishments, including medallions depicting the Arethusa head type, inspired by ancient Greek coinage from Syracuse, Sicily (circa 400 BC). The base is finished with bold scrolled tiger feet...

A black and red marble clock in the shape of an Egyptian temple attributed to G. Servant, flanked by double columns inscribed with hieroglyphs and ornated with a winged uraeus, all made in two patina bronze. The clock is surmounted by a patinated bronze sphinx. Resting on four bronze faces wearing the nemes and terminating in lion paw feet. Georges Emile Henri Servant (circa 1828-1890) who took over his father in 1855 at their foundry, rue Vieille-du-Temple, in Paris, specialized in the production of neo-Egyptian style clocks, very popular in France since 1860s, and also the making of Greek style decorative objects. He drew considerable attention to the high quality of his bronzes at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition and then at the 1862 London Exhibition. At this time Servant exported up to 40% of his production, principally to the United States, where for instance, his sphinx clocks were sold with great success by Louis Tiffany Inc. or Hamann & Roche of New York (A similar clock is now exposed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). But his success came really at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition, where he was awarded a gold medal for his neo-Greek and Egyptian works (Les Merveilles...

One of a kind and highly decorative Gothic chair from the late 1800s. If you are looking for unique and meaningful antiques to decorate your home then this sculptural and amazing workmanship chair could be perfect for you. All handcrafted in Europe in the late 1800s this striking chair is another perfect example of the highest level of workmanship that furniture makers and sculptors were combining in those days. This marvelous chair has everything that you want to see in antique and decorative art.

Besides that this unique chair is as strong and stable as the day it was handcrafted and very comfortable to sit in. Both the beautiful walnut and the stunning antique fabric are in very good to excellent condition. However, what makes this antique chair a real masterpiece are the glorious animal carvings. Firstly, the good size lion head on the front rule comes with majestic manes and his eyes have a human-like quality to them. Secondly and most importantly are the amazing swan head and tail sculptures.

A magnificent 19th century French Renaissance Revival patinated bronze mounted carved walnut "Day and Night" mantel clock.  The dial with Roman numerals flanked by allegorical figures of night and day after Michelangelo. France, circa 1870 Maker: Victor Paillard The movement stamped: Vr. Paillard, Paris. Rodier Paris Stamp & Medaille Dor', 1837 Dimensions: Height 22" (56 cm) Width 37" (94 cm) Depth 9" (22 cm) Victor Paillard (1805-1886) designed and made various bronze decorative and functional objects including chenets, lighting and clocks. He also cast bronzes for some of the most important sculptors of the day including Barye, Carrier-Belleuse and Pradier He opened his first workshop in the 1830s at 105, boulevard Beaumarchais and 6, rue Saint-Claude and by the 1850s was employing around 100 people. His success at numerous international exhibitions including the 1851 Great Exhibition (where he displayed a bronze of the Standing Sappho after Pradier) further enhanced his reputation Day and night by Michelangelo: Though never finished, the tomb of Giuliano de' Medici in the Medici Chapel is the only one of Michelangelo great architectural-sculptural projects to be realized in a form approaching completion. Built between 1520 and 1534, it is widely held to be one of Michelangelo's most stunning achievements. The pose of the central figure on the tomb of Giuliano de' Medici, arms resting at his sides and legs comfortably apart, and its open composition suggest a cheerful Duke, generous in both mind and spirit. In fact, the figure holds in his hand several coins, as if an intended gift. Light plays freely on his beautiful face, yet the figure is lacking in energy and seems to wilt under the burden of the Roman armor...

1876 Centennial Exhibition, J & L. Lobmeyr Exceptional Ormolu Mounted Bohemian Ruby Glass Centerpiece This exceptional Bohemian ruby red glass centerpiece, by he renowned Viennese glass manufacturer J. & L. Lobmeyr, exemplifies the firm's mastery in combining classical aesthetics with innovative design. Created circa 1876, this piece was showcased at the Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia, reflecting the era's fascination with classical motifs and superior craftsmanship. The centerpiece adopts a form inspired by admired Greek patterns, characterized by its elegant proportions and harmonious contours. The exquisite ormolu handles, reminiscent of Urbino vase designs, are artfully crafted as serpents with their heads pressed flat upon the rim in a vigilant posture, while their sinuous bodies attach gracefully to the bowl, culminating in finely detailed finials. This serpentine motif not only enhances the visual allure but also imbues the piece with symbolic significance, as snakes often represent protection and eternal life in classical iconography.​ Encircling the vessel is an expansive frieze featuring intricate scrollwork and figural representations. At the center of this decorative band stands a winged female figure, flanked by conventionally stylized lions, a composition that evokes themes of strength and guardianship prevalent in ancient art. The engraving is executed with extraordinary precision, with each leaf and tendril rendered in minute detail, showcasing the unparalleled skill of the artisans. The Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia was a seminal event, marking the first World's Fair held in the United States. It celebrated the nation's centennial and served as a global stage for artistic and industrial achievements. J. & L. Lobmeyr's participation in this exhibition underscored their commitment to excellence and innovation in glassmaking. Pieces such as this centerpiece would have captivated audiences with their blend of historical inspiration and contemporary artistry, reflecting the 19th-century penchant for reviving classical forms through modern techniques. Founded in 1823 by Josef Lobmeyr, the company quickly established itself as a purveyor of fine glassware, earning the distinction of becoming the Imperial Court Supplier. Under the stewardship of Josef's sons, Josef and Ludwig, the firm expanded its artistic horizons, collaborating with eminent designers and embracing diverse stylistic influences, including Islamic and Persian motifs. Their innovative approach and dedication to quality garnered international acclaim, with their works featured in prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and most importantly The Corning Museum of Glass. This Bohemian ruby red glass centerpiece with ormolu...
