AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description:
Beautiful three-piece French Art Deco fireplace mantel set, consisting of a central clock and two matching decorative elements.
The ensemble features the characteristic geometric architecture of Art Deco, with a remarkable combination of polychrome marbles with natural veining.
The central clock combines a light marble with pink, cream and red hues, surrounded by sections in green and black heavily veined marble. This alternating color scheme creates a particularly decorative contrast, typical of the interwar period taste.
The clock is accompanied by two perfectly matched side elements, also resting on marble bases. The whole forms a particularly elegant symmetrical garniture intended to be placed on a chimney, a console, or furniture.
The circular dial is surrounded by a beautiful gold metal bezel.
Movement:
The clock has an old mechanical wind-up movement with a key.
The movement is functional.
The clock is supplied with its winding key.
The striking is equipped with two gongs, present with the set.
The mechanism visible at the back shows a traditional brass construction corresponding to an old clock from this period.
Condition:
Good overall condition considering the age of the piece.
The marbles show natural variations of the material as well as some signs and marks consistent with their age and use.
The set should be carefully examined in the photographs to appreciate any small chips or signs of wear on the edges.
The clock is functional and sold with its key.
