Bronze And Black Marble Mantelpiece Ornament – Antique-style Figure Clock

An impressive and decorative fireplace set consisting of a clock and two matching candelabra, in the Neoclassical style.

The clock rests on an imposing structure of black marble, richly adorned with decorative bronze elements.

The front is adorned with two bas-relief plaques depicting classical scenes, framing a circular dial with Roman numerals.

The lower section features an elegant decoration of a laurel wreath, foliage, and ribbons.

The ensemble is crowned by a large seated male figure in patinated bronze, dressed in ancient style and holding a book or manuscript.

The particularly meticulous depiction showcases fine craftsmanship in the drapery and facial details.

The clock is accompanied by a pair of patinated bronze candelabra, mounted on black marble bases.

Their antique-inspired decoration combines winged figures, garlands, palmettes, friezes, and geometric handles.

Their slender silhouette perfectly balances the proportions of the central clock.

The mechanical movement is present, as shown in the photographs. Functionality to be verified, as the set is offered in its current condition.

A beautiful, large-scale fireplace set, highly decorative and characteristic of the neoclassical taste of the second half of the 19th century.
