Experience a rare and fully original c.1860 AD Mougin Louis XVI gold ormolu bronze clock garniture, a complete three-piece set featuring an authentic mantel clock and its two matching candelabras. This exceptional 19th-century French ensemble was designed and manufactured as a unified garniture—not assembled from separate pieces—making it a highly desirable and increasingly scarce example of true Louis XVI decorative artistry.
⭐ Authenticity, Maker Marks & Provenance
The movement is stamped “AD Mougin Deux Médailles,” confirming manufacture by one of the most respected 19th-century French clockmakers, celebrated for award-winning precision movements. The dial is signed “Metais Bayeux,”indicating the original retailer or atelier. This dual attribution significantly enhances historical value and collectibility.
⭐ Materials, Craftsmanship & Original Ormolu Finish
Crafted in solid bronze and retaining its original fire-gilded ormolu, the set has never been re-gilded or modified. Its untouched 19th-century surface displays rich patina, depth, and color that connoisseurs highly prize. Detailed casting, sharp sculptural lines, and crisp decorative elements highlight the superior craftsmanship of the mid-19th century French workshops.
