Description from the seller
This refined 19th-century fireplace triptych is a superb example of Eclectic taste, of French manufacture, blending the opulence of gilded material with the delicacy of Sèvres-style ceramic.
The set consists of a central temple clock and two coordinated four-flame candelabras, all characterized by a vivid sky blue "bleu céleste" and decorated with hand-painted plaques depicting gallant scenes, putti and floral motifs. The rich antimony friezes, including Rococo volutes, classical heads and garlands, perfectly frame the porcelain elements, making the whole a furnishing object of great prestige and visual impact.
Dimensions of the clock: 52x34x15 cm
Dimensions of the candelabras: 53x24x17 cm
Regularly functioning and with key.
