Description

The clock set comprises a central clock and a pair of flanking candelabra. The clock is set on a rectangular ormolu base with four onion feet. The clock case is set within four ormolu columns and mounted to the front and two sides with champleve enamel plaques, decorated with floral motifs on a turquoise ground. The circular clock dial is set to the front, bordered in ormolu and featuring black roman numerals, each on circular gold ground. The clock is surmounted by an interlaced ormolu gallery, and a central tower of champleve enamel and pointed turret finials. The candelabra are similarly decorated in ormolu and champleve enamel, featuring naturalistic ormolu branch decorations above the base and to the arms, which support the four lights with drip pans and twin ormolu handles.
