Garniture De Cheminée Napoléon III En Bronze Doré Et onyx - Mouvement Samuel Marti - Signée G. Fabre, Paris

Elegant and rare Napoleon III period mantel set, comprising a portico clock and matching pair of candelabras.

The set is crafted in finely chased gilt bronze and white onyx, in an elegant Louis XVI taste. The clock features a rich decoration of garlands, foliage, pine cones and floral motifs, characteristic of quality Parisian production in the second half of the 19th century.

The white enameled dial, signed "G. Fabre, Paris - Rue des Filles du Calvaire", has its original openwork hands. The case is fully glazed on all sides, revealing the decorative balance wheel.
