Questions about this piece?
This excellent clock set was made in France in the Japonisme style, imitating the decorative arts of the far East. It consists of a central clock and a pair of candelabra to either side.
The central circular clock is encircled by a pierced foliate border. This in turn is set above a patinated bronze, naturalistic background, that is decorated with floral and foliate elements, bird-life, and the figure of a child. Finally, it is mounted with a dragon finial.
The dial itself is mounted with Roman numerals; the clock's movement is stamped for Japy Frères cachet. The candelabra to either side are crafted in a very similar decorative fashion; the bodies are smaller versions of the central clock, with thinner, longer stems, and a pair of branches off to either side. An excellent decorative set, this suite will appeal to any with a love of nineteenth century French works, particularly those with a far-Eastern flavour.
Clock: height 52cm, width 31cm, depth 12cm
