AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
a magnificent three-piece complete mantel garniture in the Louis XVI style, dating from the late 19th century (Napoleon III period).
This refined ensemble, of great elegance, comprises a portico clock and its pair of matching candelabra.
Features and details : Portico Clock in bronze and marble: Neoclassical architecture with 4 cylindrical white/rose veined marble columns. White enamel dial with Arabic numerals, finely engraved hands and a gilt bronze bezel with a frieze decoration. Mechanism & Operation: Original Paris movement with Broco suspension escapement. The balance wheel is superbly decorated with a Louis XVI ribbon knot in gilt bronze and numbered 4110.
Supplied with its winding key (a modern reissue key, not original, but perfectly suited).
Candelabra (x2) in bronze and marble: Each with 3 lights (two lateral light arms in foliate scrolls and a central bouquet with its removable extinguishing cap). The shafts and bases in matching marble.
Authenticity: Presence of period assembly numbers (585) engraved under the marble, guaranteeing historical consistency and authenticity of all three pieces.
Condition:
The marble is sound (natural violet/pink veining, no cracks or major losses). The bronzes still retain a very beautiful original gilding which will regain its full luster after a light surface cleaning.
Dimensions:
Clock height: 42 cm
Candelabra height: 33 cm
