Louis XVI-style Chimney Piece - Cage Clock And Candelabras - Marble And Bronze

Important Louis XVI-style mantelpiece set in chiseled and gilded bronze—cage clock and pair of candelabra

Beautiful and elegant Louis XVI-style mantelpiece set, consisting of a cage clock accompanied by a pair of three-light candelabra, crafted from finely chiseled and gilded bronze, resting on white marble bases.

The clock features a design known as a “cage”, highly prized by collectors, which reveals the movement through its four glass-paned sides, giving it a sense of visual lightness and a particularly decorative character. The case is richly adorned with garlands, cascading foliage, knotted ribbons, and floral motifs, typical of the Louis XVI decorative style.

The circular dial is framed by a finely chiseled gilded bronze bezel. The ensemble is topped by an elegant decorative urn in white marble adorned with gilded bronze, an emblematic motif of the Neoclassical aesthetic.

The matching candelabra, each with three arms, echo the same decorative repertoire with their foliated volutes, slender shafts, and white marble bases, forming a perfectly harmonious ensemble with the clock.

This set stands out for the quality of its chiseling and, above all, for its beautiful gilding, which is particularly luminous, admirably highlighting the numerous decorative details.

The clock is complete with its gong, key, and pendulum.
The movement is operational, but has not been serviced recently.

A very beautiful decorative mantelpiece set, elegant and refined, ideal for a classic interior or to complement period furniture.
