A rare and highly decorative 19th-century French Sèvres biscuit porcelain clock garniture set, dating from circa 1840–1850. This elegant 3-piece antique clock set includes a central mantel clock with two matching candlesticks, beautifully crafted from white biscuit porcelain, marble, and ormolu bronze.
The mantel clock is richly decorated with romantic putti figures, floral garlands, birds, scrollwork, and gilded bronze mounts. The white biscuit porcelain gives the piece a soft and refined sculptural quality, while the marble base and ormolu details add weight, luxury, and classic French elegance.
The central clock rests on a marble base with bronze feet and ornate bronze decoration. The porcelain case is finely modeled throughout. On one side, two small birds are surrounded by floral garlands, while the center is decorated with a reclining putto holding the dial. At the top, two playful putti create a charming romantic scene, one offering flowers to the other.
The enamel dial features Arabic numerals and bronze hands, protected by a glass door. The 8-day clock movement has been checked and serviced by a professional clockmaker and is in working order. The clock strikes on the half and full hour and comes complete with its winding key, pendulum, and bell. The movement is stamped and signed.
The two matching candlesticks are equally charming and decorative. Each candlestick shows two putti climbing and holding a thick branch, which rises into an ormolu bronze candleholder. Each candlestick stands on a marble base with bronze feet, matching the materials and romantic style of the central clock.
This antique French Sèvres clock set is a beautiful statement piece for a mantel, console table, salon, library, or refined antique interior. The combination of white biscuit porcelain, marble, ormolu bronze, and romantic putti decorationmakes this garniture set both elegant and highly collectible.
