French, Neoclassical Gilt-Bronze and Rouge Griotte Marble Pedestal

About the Item

French Neoclassical gilt-bronze and rouge griotte marble pedestal. French, 19th century. Measures: height 123 cm, width 41 cm, depth 41 cm. In an highly pleasing combination of ormolu (gilt-bronze) and rouge griotte marble, this very fine Neoclassical style pedestal is crafted in the form of a Classical Corinthian column, and was made in France in the nineteenth century. The rich tonality of the marble complements the bright, reflective, and immaculate finish of the gilding to give the piece a warm rich red glow,, which also serves to accentuate the fight artistic qualities of the column capital's sculptural details. The slight tapering of the column gives the piece a pleasing curvature, helping to make it a fine work of art in its own right, as well as an exceptional display piece for the appropriate sculpture or decorative object.

  • Onyx, Marble, Gilt Bronze and Champlevé Enamel Pedestal Clock
    Located in London, GB
    This colorful pedestal clock has been crafted from fine red marble and green onyx, and beautifully decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) and champlevé enamel. While a popular crafts material in ancient times, onyx was largely forgotten about until its rediscovery in the mid-19th century in Algeria by a French marble-worker called Delmonte. Onyx became highly fashionable in France following this discovery, and it was used to create a variety of decorative art objects. The clock features a green onyx cube-shaped case, which is surmounted by a slightly projecting red marble top. This top is fringed with champlevé enamel drapery-like motifs, with gilt bronze drop-finials. The case is mounted on its front with a circular dial, which features a central floral champlevé enamel motif, encircled by black Arabic Numerals. This dial is set within a gilt bronze egg-and-dart and champlevé enamel bezel. The sides of the case are mounted with circular gilt bronze barometers...
