$7.520,00

This magnificent 19th-century French garniture set epitomizes the opulence and craftsmanship of the Napoleon III era, crafted in the distinguished style of Sèvres porcelain. Comprising a central mantel clock and a pair of matching candelabras, this ensemble exudes timeless elegance and artistry.

The clock showcases a lavish gilt brass case adorned with hand-painted porcelain plaques in a striking celestial blue, reminiscent of the iconic Sèvres designs. These plaques feature romantic cherubic scenes, musical motifs, and floral garlands, masterfully executed with exceptional detail. The porcelain clock face, framed by ornate gilding, is delicately painted with floral garlands and Roman numerals, signed “Marseille,” attesting to its French origin and superior craftsmanship.

The accompanying candelabras mirror the clock’s exquisite design, each featuring five branches with intricate gilt scrollwork and porcelain inserts, further enhancing the set’s harmonious aesthetic. The vibrant blue porcelain, coupled with gilded details, pays homage to the luxurious and refined artistry associated to Sèvres.
This garniture set is in excellent antique condition, preserving its original gilt patina and hand-painted details. However, please note that the clock has not been serviced and is sold as a decorative piece. While its stunning aesthetic is intact, functionality is not guaranteed, making it ideal for collectors or those seeking an exceptional decorative centerpiece.
