About the Item
Antique 19th Century French garniture, cast bronze in ormolu, a striking ensemble featuring a pair of seven-light candelabras and a mantel clock. The clock is adorned with foliage and crowned with two regal ram heads, with the signature prominently displayed in fine font on the clock face, "G. J. Levy / Paris / Rue Sevigne, 29". The rear of the clock reveals its open casing, stamped with "E.B" and the serial number 3215. The garniture is richly embellished with floral wreaths, rosettes, and a charming mural in the lower centre depicting dancing puttis. Reflecting the opulence of the Napoleon III era, this garniture embodies the lavish aesthetic of the period. Napoleon III style, prevalent in France during the mid-19th century, favoured ornate decoration and luxurious materials such as the ormolu used in this garniture. The candelabras, matching in style and grandeur, feature intricate floral motifs and are adorned with elegant figures of ladies supporting the central column.

This impressive and large cartel clock has a circular, arabesque chased, brass dial with Roman numerals on enamelled cartouches, with engraved seconds and steel hands. The rear of the clock is open cased. The dial sits within a waisted case, with large acanthus mounted gilt-bronze volutes, surmounted by a palmette mascaron and a figure of Jupiter as a child and an enamel cartouche signed ‘Thuret A PARIS’.
