Stock No.14971
A large grand gilt bronze clock garniture in the Louis XVI style. The clock, with an 8 day striking movement that strikes on the half and the full hour and with it's original pendulum and key, is set in an ornate gilt bronze case mounted on its original giltwood base, which is a rare survival. The convex porcelain dial with cobalt blue Roman hours and black Arabic minutes, fine gilt hands, ringed lion masks and a bevelled convex glass door is topped by an ornate lidded urn with an acorn finial. The pair of tall five branch candelabra with further ringed lion masks also retain their original giltwood bases.
French, mid 19th century.
