A FRENCH NEOCLASSICAL MARBLE AND BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK GARNITURE, 19TH CENTURY - A three-piece mantel garniture comprising a central timepiece and a pair of matching two-light candelabra, executed in gilt and patinated bronze on cream-colored marble bases. The central clock is surmounted by an urn-form finial suspended on delicate bronze chains. The cylindrical drum case, flanked by four patinated bronze columns with gilt capitals, houses an enamel dial with Roman numerals and pierced hands. Decorative gilt appliqués, chain swags, and turned finials enrich the plinth and base.
