Description from the seller
For sale, a sumptuous and complete 3-piece Napoleon III era fireplace mantel, in polished Belgian black marble with veined red marble inlays.
This prestige set includes:
1. A large architectural portico clock adorned with superb floral engravings gilded with fine gold. The white enamel dial has its original hands under a bronze glazed bezel.

2. Two matching cassolettes (decorative urns) in coordinated black marble with veined red marble.
3. The original bronze pendulum/bob bearing the serial number exactly matching the mechanism (No. 25192).
4. The period winding key.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
• Era: 19th century (Napoleon III / circa 1870).
• Mechanism: Signed V.R. Breveté Paris (Victor Reclus).
• Clock dimensions: Length: 46 cm / Height: 36 cm.
• Condition: Good state of preservation and magnificent marble shine. Dial very clean. Mechanism complete with original key and pendulum. Note: One of the two cassolettes has a little play in its marble assembly and will simply need tightening by the inner stem. Minor normal wear on the edges.
A grand and authentic antique clock piece, ideal for adorning a classic living room, a manor house, or for a prestige antiques collector.
